- Synopsis
- Unique among all the books about war in the air, this is the only complete account of the tactics of fighter aircraft from the beginning to the end, told by the top-scoring Allied fighter pilot. It begins with the first exciting air dogfights in World War I, when 70 mile-an-hour biplanes lumbered through the sky in single encounters over France. It traces' the swift development of higher performance fighter planes between the wars, and shows how British, German, and American pilots sharpened their skills in the vastly more powerful and heavily armed fighters of World War II. A final fascinating section describes the further evolution of fighter tactics in the era of supersonic jets-the last manned fighter planes the world will ever see.
