I read it almost in one go. I had just finished Sir Stanley Hooker‘s „Not much of an Engineer“ before and found Jump Jet nicely complementary.

I still have the book I read almost thirty years ago, and, interestingly, it never mentions Ralph Hooper and it even claims John Fozard to be the "chief of design of the team that created the harrier".

I am not a young engineer anymore, but I did enjoy it a lot.

Just finished an old classic and a new one. Rory Sutherland‘s Review of @mikepryce.bsky.social’s Jump Jet is spot on! Recommended not only but also to young engineers. #aviationbookclub
