Unprecedented access to once top-secret aircraft.
Nijboer takes the reader inside the cockpits of the
most revered and feared aircraft of the Cold War period,
from 1947 to 1965. This book covers planes from the
United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, France
and the Soviet Union including: - The Mikoyan MiG-15
Soviet fighter flown by Kenneth Rowe (formerly Lt. Kim
Sok No), the first pilot to defect to the West during
the Korean War - The Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star jet
fighter that shot down a MiG-15 in the world's first
all-jet battle
Each featured aircraft includes a pilot perspective
on what it was like to fly these legendary aircraft
on combat or reconnaissance missions written by well-known
pilots -- many of them combat veterans from the Korean
and Vietnam wars.
