Both a comprehensive work of reference and an authoritative history, this book covers the origins of the aircraft from both the P1040 and P1052 swept-wing versions and moves through design and development of the twin-seat, dual-control Hunter T7 to the 'ultimate' FGA.Mk.9. The Hunter's varied operational successes are noted with particular emphasis on major foreign users in Switzerland and India, and, amongst others, exports to Oman and Chile. It faithfully reproduces extracts from the Hunter's original Aircrew Manual and presents appendices on service histories, serial numbers, and the fate of every Hunter built. It also includes color profiles and a set of scale plans.
