The conception of the Pegasus engine in 1957 upset all the conventions of aircraft design. It was previously usual for aircraft designers to seek a suitable engine, but this was an engine that sought an aircraft. The aircraft that resulted was the famous Harrier that is still in front-line service with air forces around the world including the RAF and US Marine Corps. This book takes an in-depth look at the engine's original design concept, initial production and flight testing. It then goes on to explain how the developments and improvements have been made over the ensuing years and includes experiences of operational combat flying, both from land and sea. The book is written in a non technical style that makes comfortable reading for all enthusiasts and historians and is copiously illustrated with many previously unseen photographs and diagrams.

Humans have been telling one another stories ever since they first developed language. Stories that teach, stories that entertain. The ancient Greek story tellers had a nasty habit of punishing their main characters, especially when it came to romance. I’m bringing these couples into modern times and giving them not only new lives, but also another chance to find the happily ever after they deserve. This collection contains the first four books in the Romancing a God series. Pandora Curiosity killed the cat. It also changed the course of mankind. Pandora Jones roams her city streets at night, collecting the worries that keep others awake and securing them in special boxes that she makes. The ultimate lonely girl, trying to atone for her ancestor’s costly mistake, just like the long line of Pandoras before her. Zeus sends his handsome eldest son to set things right with Pandora but neglects to tell Zee exactly who to look for, what to do, or even why he’s been sent.
