"This is a phenomenal book that would certainly keep the ardent
aviation buff busy for many hours. The time it must have taken to
write and compile this book is staggering, for the content is
detailed yet very readable." --Timothy Baghurst, The Traveler
(November 2007)"This background reference volume in oversized
landscape format is written by a team comprising an aviation
journalist and a U.S. Air Force pilot with extensive experience
flying the F-15. Given the relaxation of security with the
airframe's advancing age, many previously unknown details are
brought to light... A library with collection interests in modern
military aviation will find this title worth considering." --John

collections and general-interest holdings strong in aviation will
relish the visual treat of Steve Davies and Doug Dildy's F-15 Eagle
Engaged: The World's Most Successful Jet Fighter, in which a USAF
Colonel and a leading aviation journalist write the most
eye-catching, detailed book in print on the F-15 Eagle fighter."
--The California Bookwatch (January 2008)"Author Davies and Dildy
have produced a very nice history of the F-15, taking it from its
inception to its current status... In all, a very nice book that is
both an ecxcellent reference and a nice 'coffee table' book. One
that I know you will be browsing through time and time again."
