USMC Harriers Operate on HMS Illustrious 2007

USMC Harriers on HMS Illustrious Published on Jan 20, 2014
"In the summer of 2007, the US Marine Corps and British Royal Navy made history by accomplishing something that had never been done before: a wing of USMC Harrier jump jets operated for several days aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious. Military reporter Michael Jordan of Cosmos Mariner Productions accompanied the Marines on their history-making embark and filed this report as part of a longer film on US-British military cooperation. www.cosmosavannah.com "
