USN F-4 Phantom II vs VPAF MiG-17. Vietnam 1965-73
Peter Davies Illustrators: Jim Laurier Gareth Hector
The Vietnam War placed unexpected demands upon American military forces and equipment.The principal US naval fighter, the McDonnell F-4 Phantom, had originally been designed to defend the Fleet from air attack at long range. However, its tremendous power and bomb-carrying capacity made it an obvious candidate for the attack mission in Vietnam from 1965 onwards. Its opponent was the MiG-17, a direct descendant of the MiG-15, which had given USAF Sabre jets a hard fight in the Korean War. This book brings to life tat evolved as pilots learned how to use and to defeat supersonic fighters for the first time.
