Customer Review: The B-52 Stratofortress often gets the back page to its newer counterparts. This book does a good job of covering the BUFF's action in Desert Storm, the B-52G's last hurrah. The book goes a bit farther than many in regards to photography. The images within are not the almost-cliche'd images... more info
Customer Review: This book is essential for anyone who has more than a passing interest in the Bone. It covers the basic history of the B-1 as it progressed from the B-1A program that was canceled by the Carter administration only to be revised and revamped as the B-1B under Ronald Reagan.

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.

Customer Review: I found a reference to this book while trying to find an authentic MiG-21 camouflage paint scheme. The book is excellent in its limited coverage and contains very specialized material. Not designed for the casual aviation reader.
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
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: Yet again Osprey have produced a conscise but excellent history cataloging the use of the F-14 units over Irag. Good pictures and profiles. The book also draws heavily on first person accounts from the pilots who flew the missions. Highly recommended.
