This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on the Hunter yet published. The book supplies up-to-date details of the serial numbers and histories of all the individual Hunter aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, the 20 foreign air forces and present civilian ownership over the 55 years since its inception. This is an essential reference for enthusiasts, aviation historians and modelers alike. 

The book also contains many previously unpublished and some extremely rare photographs and details gathered from many original sources. There is an appendix with copies of the original specification and contract documents, and a listing of all the Hunter G-9 numbers. 

A section is devoted to the many different scale plastic, resin and die-cast models of the Hunter, with photographs of the original box art.  Useful for modelers also, is the walk around section which includes some details rarely photographed before, for those ultra-detail modelers.

This is the ultimate compilation of hard to find information from many sources worldwide spanning the entire life of the Hunter.

The paperback book contains over 600 pages, including over 350 B&W photographs with colour covers.

Orders can be made directly from the publishers, www.Lulu.com, when it is listed.

The book will hopefully be available from the publishers by mid to late December 2006 and will be located at http://www.lulu.com/content/429776
