Part of the "At the Controls" series of military reference books, this work uses artworks, diagrams and photographs to take the reader on an actual combat mission with the F-117 - spearheading the US air assault on Iraq in 1991. Undetected by the enemy air defense system, F-117s attacked vital installations in Baghdad itself, opening the way to future Allied attacks. This book reveals how to navigate, refuel and approach the target in an F-117, how to attack enemy command bunkers with laser-guided bombs and survive in the face of modern anti-aircraft missile systems.
v. 3
Part of the "At the Controls" series of military reference books, this work uses artworks, diagrams and photographs to take the reader through a jet fighter-bomber mission in the EF2000 Eurofighter. Following a hypothetical mission set in the near future, the book reveals how the EF2000 can out manoeuvre all other interceptors, how its guided missiles can engage multiple targets and how its composite structure makes it the toughest aircraft ever built. The Eurofighter will enter service with the RAF by the year 2000.
v. 4
The last and most capable of the Soviet interceptors, the MiG-29 closed the technological gap between Soviet and NATO fast jets. After the unification of Germany, the Luftwaffe retained both squadrons of former East German MiG-29s, so our voices "from the cockpit" include veteran German pilots as well as Russians. Artwork and photographs support a text that takes the reader step-by-step through a MiG-29 mission, revealing how its sensors and weapon systems can combine to bring down even Tomahawk cruise missiles.
