Product Description

Synopsis

The time - January 1991. The place - the skies over Baghdad. Around the world, people are glued to their TV screens as, for the first time in history, CNN takes readers live to the battlefield. Blobs of green light -antiaircraft fire - reach into the sky trying to bring down the attacking aircraft. Crosshairs settle on the door of a bunker, soon to be followed by an explosion. In the middle of this battle was the US Air force's F15E "Strike Eagle". This book takes readers with the pilots into the skies over Iraq. Filled with war stories, it is written by a pilot who writes for the non-aviator. It's a story of men at war that enables the reader to relive the Gulf War. William L. Smallwood is the author of Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War".

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutally realistic account of life in the Strike Eagle!, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
As a former F-15E WSO in the 336TFS depicted in this book, I can say with absolute confidence that this is a totally accurate account of the Strike Eagle in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Mr. Smallwood took great pains to interview as many of us that flew the aircraft as was humanly possible and he has MORE facts than the Air Force in terms of the leadership problems and difficulties in fielding a new aircraft with new crewmember in a combat situation. This book brought back laughs, sobs and the very smell of being in the jet! He described instances that I was involved in as if he were standing there when it happened. If you ever looked at the F-15E and wondered what it would be like; read this book! It is very accurate and reflects the emotions of going off to "war" and being in combat. All of us that flew the aircraft salute Bill Smallwood for his insight and commitment to accuracy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strike Eagle: A Brilliant Book, 2 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This book has brought me hours of enjoyment as I have read it three times. It is hard to get enough of the real-world action that this book delivers. I would recommend it as an addition to anyone's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for air combat enthusiast!, 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Very good description of aircraft's weapons systems. It really changed my opinion of the War in the Gulf. I thought these pilots had it easy but it was a tough hard job flying these machines over extremely hazardous conditions.

A good companion for this book is the Jane's F-15E computer flight simulation. You'll have an excellent hands on experience of what it's like to fly one of the finest Air Force Jets in the inventory.
