forward. This remarkably current volume covers all the action. 96 pgs., 69 color

F-15 Eagle in Action Adcock.
Softbound Book
The F-15 Eagle resulted from a combination of air combat experience over
Vietnam and the threat posed by new Soviet aircraft in the late 1960s.
McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) won the U.S. Air Force's Fighter Experimental
(FX) competition and developed an aircraft optimized for air superiority
missions. The F-15's combination of high performance, outstanding
maneuverability, and advanced weapons and fire control allowed Eagle pilots
to dominate air combat. The F-15 entered USAF service in 1975, soon became
the service's premier fighter aircraft, and has been undefeated in air
combat by Israeli, Saudi, and U.S. pilots over the Middle East and Balkans.
Despite its air superiority design, the Eagle was successfully adapted to a
ground attack role as the F-15E Strike Eagle. This variant proved its dual
role capabilities over Iraq, Yugoslavia, and more recently Afghanistan. Book
traces the development of this premier air superiority and ground attack
aircraft. 49 pgs., 125 B&W photos, lne drawings, 3-views, 10 color profiles
and more. 11"x 8¼", sfbd.
