The Harrier has become famous as the world's first vertical take-off and landing strike fighter, ever since the prototype Hawker P.1127 flew in 1960. The United States placed an initial order for 12 Harriers under the designation AV-8A but this proved so successful that the order was increased to 110, including eight two-seaters. These aircraft can carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles for air-to-air combat and the USMC have adapted their Harriers to use thrust-vectoring (VIFF) in dog-fight situations. VMA-231 'Aces' was the first US Marine Corps Harrier squadron, formed on the 15th May 1973 at Cherry Point, North Carolina. 158390 is the subject of this model and was one of the first USMC Harriers deliveried and wears the squadron's 'Ace of Spades' on the nose.
