This is the story of the world's first operational swing-wing bomber. The General Dynamics F111 was a far-sighted design, packed with radars and navigational aids to help pinpoint targets in bad weather and at night. Proved over Vietnam, used with great effect against Libya and excelling in the Gulf War, it will remain in service with the Royal Australian Air Force well into the next century. The authors interviewed many former F111 crews and gathered photographs from all over the world to create this history of a well-respected and effective aircraft.

As was demonstrated in the Gulf Conflict in 1992, it is now inconceivable that international-scale warfare can be fought, or won, without recourse to the airborne weaponry of the day. On an accelerating graph of evolution the "new" age of aviation has increasingly taken military strategy into the air, to a point where, as seen in the Gulf War, airborne weapons can be deployed - from a distance - with the clinical accuracy of a short range sniper of the past. This volume, illustrated with photos and drawings, shows the reader which weaponry is deployed by each "western" force, details its purpose and performance, and discusses the current and future use of the airborne weapons in all its guises. The book should be of interest to serving officers in all sectors of the armed forces, as well as to enthusiasts, modellers, cadets etc.

This is the first comprehensive account of the design, development and operational history of the Harrier and its derivatives to date, incorporating many hours of interviews with those involved with the aircraft from the outset. Whether or not VTOL technology is advanced further to remain at the centre of aviation evolution, this history of the Harrier places on record the achievement to date of a truly unique aircraft.

Learn how military pilots protect themselves against an attack from a surface-to-air missile (SAM). This book describes the evolution of American anti-radar weapons, related jamming tactics and stealth technology as leading-edge countermeasures to the SAM and other sophisticated ground-based anti-aircraft defenses. The focus is on new weapons and tactics as they emerged in combat, beginning with the Vietnam War and later the Persian Gulf and Balkans conflicts. The text combines an analytical overview of the weapons systems mixed with first-hand anecdotal reminiscences from former air and ground crews.
