F-15C Eagle vs MiG-23/25

Σειρά DUEL, βιβλίο No 72: F-15C Eagle vs MiG-23/25 - Iraq 1991

Following the relatively poor performance of America's multi-role fighters during the Vietnam War, the F-15 Eagle was designed as a dedicated air superiority fighter. But, instead of Soviet pilots, it came up against pilots of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi airforce.

This book analyses the combat between the American and Soviet 'Cold War fighters' in a balanced manner, examining how the technical abilities of the aircraft combined with the different levels of training available to opposing pilots and groundcrews allowed the F-15s to destroy the Iraqi offensive abilities within weeks of the First Gulf War starting.

Packed with artwork, illustrations and photographs, this book places the reader in the cockpit during one of the last major dogfighting air wars in modern history.
