Produktbeschreibung

A detailed history of the F-4 Phantom II, the USAF workhorse fighter-bomber for the Linebacker campaign, which eventually saw US forces withdraw from Vietnam 'with honour' in 1973.

This book covers the F-4 attacks on numerous targets in North Vietnamese cities such as Hanoi and Haiphong, as well as its engagements with Vietnamese MiG-19s and MiG-21s hell-bent on defending the north from 'Yankee air pirates'.

The USAF's only ace crew, which scored their five kills during 1972, is also covered, alongside many detailed photographs, a large proportion of which haven't been published before.
