Jane's Fighter Combat in the Jet Age

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Fighter Combat in the Jet Age reveals how a new generation of jet airplanes fought over Korea and in the Middle East, and how, by the 1960s, more powerful engines were allied to air-to-air missiles and effective airborne radar. David Isby investigates how US and Russian-built aircraft clashed over Vietnam in battles where political limitations often cancelled American technological superiority. He describes the fighters and weapons developed during the Cold War and how in the 1990s, multiple targetting fire control, missiles capable of beyond-visual-range engagement and emerging 'stealth' technology are transforming fighter combat once again.
