Scream Of Eagles

Bok av Robert K Wilcox
In the darkest days of the Vietnam War, when the US Navy's kill ratio dropped to a deadly 2:1, battle-hardened fighter pilots formed the Fighter Weapons School known as Top Gun. Requisitioning Soviet MiGs for brutally realistic dogfights, the Top Gun instructors duelled each other and their students in order to achieve an extraordinary new level of fighting expertise. The training paid off in the Vietnam skies. Locking on to enemy aircraft with radar-guided weapons systems, executing screaming vertical climbs and multiple G-force turns, the Top Gun pilots drove the navy's kill ratio up to an astounding 12:1 - and decisively won the air war. The new edition features a new afterword in which Wilcox discusses the continuing impact of Vietnam's Top Gun pilots in modern aviation conflicts.
