Book condition : very good. - The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagles of the 336th Tactical Fighter Squadron from Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina, were the first USAF interdiction unit to deploy to Saudi Arabia at the outset of the Gulf crisis in August 1990. The Strike Eagle's baptism of fire proved it to be a superb addition to America's armoury. It can fly and fight at any speed between 200 knots and Mach 2.5; kill a MiG at 60 miles' range, or put a laser-guided bomb through the door of a bunker; carry any bomb or missile in the USAF inventory; pull nine Gs, and climb to 100,000 feet plus. The renowned US aviation photo-journalist HANS HALBERSTADT presents a gallery of superb air and ground shots of Strike Eagles, their crews and their operations, mainly at Seymour Johnson, home of the 336th 'Rocketeers', and at Luke AFB in the Arizona desert, where the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon training schools put would-be pilots and 'wizzos' through the wringer. But this book has more than just airplane photos: it offers close-ups of cockpit interiors, talking you through the 'space invaders' instrumentation and controls; and a fact-packed text so crammed with information on flying the Eagle.
