F-15C Eagle vs MiG-23/25 Iraq 1991 (Duel Nr. 72) - Dildy / Cooper
Osprey Duel: Berichte über die Kriegsmaschinen, die sich auf den Schlachtfeldern gegenüberstanden, ihre Zweikämpfe und die Männer, die sie bedienten. Dieser Band beschreibt die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den pakistanischen M48 Patton und den indischen Centurion während des zweiten Indisch-Pakistanischen Kriegs. Die beiden Muster und ihre Geschichte werden ausführlich vorgestellt. Inkl. zahlreicher zeitgenössischer Fotos, Kartenskizzen und Farbprofile, u.a. mit detaillierter Darstellung des Turms und der Bordwaffen.
Designed following the relatively poor performance of America's multi-role fighters during the Vietnam War, the F-15 Eagle was conceived as a dedicated air superiority fighter. But, having trained for 15 years in the Eagle it wasn't Eastern Bloc operated MiGs that the F-15 eventually came up against, but pilots of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi airforce.
This book analyses the combat between the American and Soviet "Cold War fighters" in a balanced manner, examining how the technical abilities of the aircraft combined with the different levels of training available to opposing pilots and groundcrews allowed the F-15s to destroy the Iraqi offensive abilities within weeks of the First Gulf War starting. Packed with artwork, illustrations and photographs, this book places the reader in the cockpit during one of the last major dogfighting air wars in modern history.
