Reviews

Summing up, this title is a true "must have" for all modern aviation enthusiasts. - Marco De Montis This has to be one of the best titles to date within the series, with accounts from aircrews themselves who flew missions over 'the North'. The profile artwork is stunning and certainly gives some inspiration for those with a few 1/72 Fujimi kits in the stash. A stunning work and well worth the cover price. It's great to see a previously little covered aspect of the Vietnam air war. - Airfix Model World If you have any interest in U.S. Navy aircraft during the Vietnam War, and especially if you intend to build a model of an A-6 Intruder during that period, I recommend that you add this softcover book to your library. Written by one of its pilots who quotes other pilots, it's an unfailing, intense history of what it felt like to be an Intruder pilot during the Vietnam War. - IPMS/USA To recommend to any fan interested in the Vietnam War. - aerostories.org
