Hover Craft - Angela Croome - 1984

Her book deals with the commercial use of the hovercraft for speedy sea travel and for the transport of goods in difficult terrains. The new material covers recent helicopter developments, the Harrier jump-jet (including its use in battle in the Falklands) and the way the small hovercraft has become a tool of the modern explorer .
