Descriere magazin:
At the beginning of the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese People\'s Air Force (VPAF) was equipped with slow, old Korean War-generation fighters--a combination of MiG-17s and MiG-19s, types that should have offered little opposition to the cutting-edge fighter-bombers such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-105 Thunderchief, and the F-8 Crusader. Yet when the USAF and US Navy unleashed their aircraft on North Vietnam in 1965, the inexperienced pilots of the VPAF were able to shatter the illusion of U.S. air superiority. Taking advantage of its jet\'s unequaled low-speed maneuverability, small size, and powerful cannon armament, the VPAF was able to take the fight to its missile-guided opponents, with a number of Vietnamese pilots racking up ace scores. Packed with information previously unavailable in the West and only recently released from archives in Vietnam, this is the first major analysis of the exploits of Vietnamese pilots in the David and Goliath contest with the U.S. over the skies of Vietnam. About the Author: Dr. Istv n Toperczer is one of the few individuals from outside Vietnam with access to the Vietnamese People\'s Air Force files. He has interviewed many of the war years\' aces and wrote MiG-17 and MiG-19 Units of the Vietnam War (Osprey Combat Aircraft 25) and MiG-21 Units of the Vietnam War (Osprey Combat Aircraft 29). Jim Laurier , a native of New England, has worked on the Osprey Aviation list since 2000 and has produced some of these volumes\' finest artwork.
