F-15E Strike Eagle Units in Combat 1990-2005

Description

The F-15E Strike Eagle has been at the center of every single conflict in which the US has been involved since 1990. This remarkable aircraft has repeatedly struck targets where no other Coalition, NATO or US fighter has been able to go, breaking records for combat endurance and effectiveness. In the last decade, the Strike Eagle has been consistently upgraded to accommodate the latest weapons and electronic equipment. This book provides a thorough study of this versatile strike aircraft, as well as exploring its role in Operation Desert Storm and, more recently, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Steve Davies is the author of two F-15 books published by Airlife. He is 'Air Forces Monthly' magazine's UK correspondent, a contributor to several other international aviation publications such as 'International Air Power Review' and 'Combat Aircraft', and is widely recognised as a leading authority on the F-15. He lives in Cambridge, UK. This is his first book for Osprey. An airbrush artist with years of experience, Chris Davey has become Osprey's principal illustrator of RAF aircraft, having produced the profiles for over a dozen books since 1994. His most recent work includes Aircraft of the Aces 38: 'Tomahawk and Kittyhawk Aces of the RAF and Commonwealth' and Combat Aircraft 31: 'Lancaster Squadrons 1942-43' . He is particularly adept at 'big' aircraft like the Halifax and Sunderland. He lives in Nottinghamshire, UK.

"I highly reocmmend this book for its historical facts, references or just learning more of the aircraft in itself." --Joe Szczygielski, AeroScale
