The title includes details on all of these operations as well as more clandestine reconnaissance missions, and provides information about the men that flew them. This title covers the technical characteristics of the F Starfighter, one of the most widely-used and popular aircraft in history. There, it was engaged in some of the war's most famous battles including the legendary operation Bolo, where seven North Vietnamese MiGs were destroyed without the loss of a single US fighter.
This small, tough and very fast fighter, dubbed 'The Missile with a Man in It', was called upon to do things it was not specifically designed for, and did them admirably. Featuring illustrations and photographs detailing the variety of nose-paint schemes and weapons configurations, this comprehensive appraisal of the F Starfighter is ideal for modelling and aviation enthusiasts alike. At about this time, the Marine Corps had also begun using the Panthers in limited numbers.
Operating from aircraft carriers off the Korean coast, F9Fs helped stop the North Korean invasion within two weeks of the communists crossing the 38th Parallel. The Panthers, escorting carrier-based AD Skyraiders and F4U Corsairs, penetrated as far north as Pyongyang, where they bombed and strafed targets that the North Koreans thought were out of range. The Panthers also took the battle all the way to the Yalu River, long before the MiGs became a threat.
The F9F's basic tasking was aerial supremacy and combat air patrols, but they also excelled in bombing and strafing attacks. This book tells how the A-7 soon proved its worth supporting ground operations in South Vietnam. As it continued to serve in the ground support role, the navy swiftly introduced the A-7E which soon ran into difficulties with supply lines perhaps on account of what many perceived to have been a rushed introduction to service. Once these teething problems were resolved, the A-7E became the primary air-to-ground aircraft of the fleet.
An operational history of one of the most capable, versatile, and long-lived aircraft in naval aviation history. This fighter with its unusual variable incidence wing, made its maiden flight in March and equipped more than seventy Navy and Marine Corps squadrons during its thirty year career. The Vietnam War placed unexpected demands upon American military forces and equipment. The principal US naval fighter, the McDonnell F-4 Phantom, had originally been designed to defend the Fleet from air attack at long range.
However, its tremendous power and bomb-carrying capacity made it an obvious candidate for the attack mission in Vietnam from onwards. This book brings to life their dangerous duels and includes detailed cockpit views and other specially commissioned artwork to highlight the benefits and shortcomings of each plane type.
It was in the skies over Vietnam that many of the techniques of air combat evolved as pilots learned how to use and to defeat supersonic fighters for the first time. Lon O. He presents the historical and political background of each conflict and includes in-depth discussions of the aircraft, weapons, tactics, training, new systems, and other factors that influenced the outcome of each war.
