Customer Review: Noted aviation author Peter Davies concludes his two-volume history of USAF Vietnam War MiG killers with this volume covering the 1972-73 Linebacker I and II campaigns. The Air Force's record over North Vietnam in 1972 and 1973 was spotty at best: 3 Air Force crewmen made ace and 48 MiGs were... more info
Customer Review: Book is well written with great photo's and illstrations. Facts are excellent. If you like the Crusader. This is a must! The last of the gunfighters!

Customer Review: For a small book, this volume contains an amazing amout of detail and first-person recall of the A-7 Corsair II flown by naval aviators during Viet Nam. The book is easy to read, although the photographs (B&W) are quite small. A good edition to anyone's Naval Aviation library.
Customer Review: Really rare and hard to find data on Israeli Phantom kills, covering every kill (many in details). Many non-seen before photos and exceptional color profiles.
The information that presented in the book is the Israeli look on the Phantom air-to-air combat results. It is not a traditional ace... more info
Customer Review: Aviation history usually is produced by dedicated enthusiasts who have never flown the airplanes they describe. In fact, many competent authors have never flown anything. But Bob Powell's history of the Vigilante is unusual in that he not only knows the subject, he's flown the RA-5 and "waved" it as... more info
