Product Description
Synopsis
Part of the "At the Controls" series of military reference books, this work uses artworks, diagrams and photographs to take the reader through a jet fighter-bomber mission in the US Navy's F/A-18 Hornet. Following a typical mission from carrier deck to aerial combat, the book reveals how the F/A-18 detects targets on land, sea and in the air, and how pilots can engage multiple targets with the aircraft's array of guided missiles.
From the Author
An in-depth account of a combat mission in an F/A-18
This book shows what modern fighter combat is like from the cockpit, from the viewpoint of a carrier-based US Navy F/A-18 in a future conflict with Iran. Modern fighter combat is a blend of "the right stuff" that would have been recognizable in 1914-18 and high technology that sets it apart even from the air battles of 1991. The modern fighter pilot is both alone in the cockpit and is part of a team linked by high-technology sensors and communications. Those who like computer flight simulators and games should find this just what they have been looking for. Illustrations include lots of nice color photographs and artwork, including fold-outs.
