Harrier Carriers - HMS Invincible

This book traces HMS Invincible’s career from the traumatic beginnings in the early 1970s when she was known as a ‘through-deck cruiser’, to the early years of the 21st Century. Seven chapters of highly readable text tell the story of the first of the Royal Navy’s new generation of aircraft carriers. She has faced threats from politicians at home and from the Argentine Air Force in the South Atlantic, but has emerged unscathed. Foreword by Rear-Admiral R A G Clare, one of Invincible’s commanding officers. The book is well illustrated and contains a special colour section.
