Review
Nordeen highlights US Marine Corps Harrier units serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom in the 99th volume of Osprey's acclaimed "Combat Aircraft" series. Coverage outlines USMC Harrier missions from March 2003 to withdrawal in December 2011. And Jim Laurier's fine color profiles offer plenty of modeling inspiration. Exceptionally informative!
Coverage includes:
- Introduction
- USMC and AV-8B Air Support
- Operation Southern Watch
- OIF I – VMA-214
- OIF I – VMA-311 and VMA-211
- OIF I – VMA-542, VMA-223 and VMA-231
- OIF II/III
- OIF IV
- OIF V/VI
My sincere thanks to Osprey Publishing for this review sample!
