Air Combat: An Oral History of Fighter Pilots
Description:
From the savage dogfights of WW2 to the high-tech missile duels of today, those who wage war in the skies -- and the machines they fly -- are a breed apart. Pushing themselves to the cutting edge of speed and skill, their battleground is among the clouds. Here are true stories of aerial warfare, as told by those who were there. Here are dozens of interviews from combat veterans who have experienced what it s like to face the enemy in the skies above -- from the first days of WW2 to the current war on terror. Each story tells a firsthand account of what it s like to be in the thick of the fight; describes the strengths, and weaknesses of each man s plane in detail; and offers readers a rare glimpse into the minds and hearts of those who fight in the air.
