 | Great Fighters of the World - SOLD OUT Ref: GTFIG
Of all the numerous types of flying machines produced since the first days of powered flight, fighter aircraft will always capture the imagination more than any other. In Great Fighters of the World you'll find the amazing stories of the most famous of these awe-inspiring machines, highlighting their influence on the conflicts they fought in. Manfred von Richthofen, aka the 'Red Baron', the dreaded, highest-scoring World War One Flying Ace, racked up 20 of his 80 kills in the iconic Fokker DR1 Triplane, top speed: 55 knots. Before the end of the century, British pilots of the 1982 Falklands conflict, in Sea Harriers (top speed 635kt), were 'dogfighting' with capabilities that would have been unimaginable to the Baron. And now, in the new millennia, the very nature of battle has changed, as illustrated by the stealth technology of Raptors. From the first true dogfighters through to the cutting-edge machines of today 'Great Fighters' recalls the technology, triumph and tragedy of aerial warfare. 132-page, Bookazine.WAS £7.99, NOW £4.99!
