Five chapters describe the history, present uses, and future of fighter jets, begining with the use of F-16s on 9/11 and then going back 1944 and the introduction of the German Me 262, the world's first fighter jet. The role of fighter jets in wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq is briefly discussed. Also mentions the Soviet MIG and the new Chinese Chengdu J-20.
They prowl the skies in search of prey, striking instantly and without warning. They are the F-15 Eagle, the F-16 fighting Falcon, the F/A-18 Hornet, and America's newest fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor. Advanced multi-role fighters represent the cutting edge of modern warfare. They are the first into battle, shooting down enemy aircraft, knocking out tanks and missile sites, and defending ground troops under fire. Only the best pilots get to fly them, elite aviators who can handle their extreme mental and physical demands. For more than half a century, fighter jets have symbolized the apex of military power.
