LIMITED EDITION
Air Power Series
A detailed DIE-CAST model for the adult collector

In April, 1994 the Italian Navy (Marina Militare Italiana) received the first of the sixteen AV 8B Plus single-seat and two TAV 8B two-seater Harriers. The Harriers are based at Maristaer Grottaglie near Taranto, Italy. There are about 14 pilots assigned to the squadron that operates from the land base or onboard the light aircraft carrier GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI. The first landing of a Harrier on the Garibaldi took place in November 1994. Gruppo Aerei Imbarcati "The Wolves" the unit emblem is a ferocious wolf head.

Designed to meet a NATO specification for a light tactical support fighter that was also capable of Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing (V/STOL), the Harrier first flew in 1960. This unique aircraft has the distinction of being the only successful V/STOL design out of the many that were put forth during the 1960s. There are four different versions of the Harrier, which uses thrust vectoring to achieve V/STOL: the first generation Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the Naval strike/air defense BAE Sea Harrier, the US AV-8B Harrier II variant and the British BAE Harrier II. The Harrier was produced between 1969 and 2003.
