Iranian F-4 Phantom II Units in Combat (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An illustrated combat history of the jet, different versions of which have provided the backbone of the frontline strength of the Iranian air force since the 1970s.

Whole generations of Iranian pilots and ground personnel have been trained to fly and maintain the versions of this aircraft. Indeed, the type bore the brunt of active combat operations during the long war with Iraq. Iranian F-4 Phantom IIs were also some of best equipped examples ever exported by the USA. Some Iranian Phantom II pilots gathered immense experience on the type, flying it in combat for more than ten years.

This book removes the veil of secrecy surrounding Iranian Phantom II operations since the war with Iraq.
