The invention claimed is: 1. A bleed air cooler assembly for cooling compressed bleed air in an outer bypass duct of a gas turbine engine, comprising:a cooler body defining a fluid passage within the cooler body and having a low profile for being positioned in an annulus between the outer bypass duct and a gas generator case; anda connector detachably affixed to one end of the cooler body and having an inlet and an outlet on opposite surfaces of the connector and in fluid communication with the fluid passage of the cooler body, the connector adapted to be detachably supported within the annulus to allow the compressed bleed air from a compressed air plenum within the gas generator case to be introduced through the inlet and to be cooled in the fluid passage of the cooler body and to then be discharged out of the outer bypass duct through the outlet.
