Beskrivning

A gripping account of the mighty F-4 Phantom II, icon of the Cold War and ultimate American fighter of the 1960s, versus the nimble, agile and abundant MiG-21, which was a communist icon of the period. Influential leaders and tacticians are profiled to provide a comparative evaluation of their contrasting skills. This book also reveals the technical specifications of each jet with an analysis of the weaponry, avionics and survival devices of the F-4 Phantom II as flown by the USAF and the MiG-21. The fighters' strengths and weaknesses are also compared, including turn radius, performance at altitude, range and structural integrity.Featuring first-person extracts reflect on the dangers of these aerial duels, as USAF pilots and their counterparts struggled to overcome each plane's shortcomings, this book draws us into the dangerous world braved by American and North Vietnamese airmen in the skies over Vietnam.
