USAF & VPAF in the Vietnam War
(Duel 12)
A paraitre en septembre.This book draws us into the dangerous world braved by American and North Vietnamese airmen in the skies over Vietnam. Influential leaders and tacticians are profiled to provide a comparative evaluation of their contrasting skills. This book also reveals the technical specifications of each jet with an analysis of the weaponry, avionics and survival devices of the F-4 Phantom II as flown by the USAF and the MiG-21. The fighters’ strengths and weaknesses are also compared, including turn radius, performance at altitude, range and structural integrity. First-person extracts reflect on the dangers of these aerial duels, as USAF pilots and their counterparts struggled to overcome each plane’s shortcomings.
Point particulier à souligner pour cette série, il s'agit vraiment d'ouvrages de vulgarisation, qui ne vous apporteront rien si vous avez déja une petite connaissance du sujet.
Excellent pour débuter (A vérifier cependant à la sortie, car comme d'hab chez osprey, tout dépend de l'auteur).
