F-111 Aardvark : The Revolutionary Variable-Sweep Wing Aircraft That Changed Modern Air Warfare

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - No aircraft in American military history arrived under a heavier cloud of controversy than the F-111 Aardvark mocked in Congress before it ever flew combat, grounded after a disastrous 1968 debut over Vietnam, and blamed for the ambitions of a defense secretary who wanted one airframe to serve two services at once.And yet by the time the last Aardvark landed for good in Australia in 2010, it had quietly become one of the most respected strike aircraft ever built. This is the first book to bring the F-111's full story together in one volume: the political scandal that nearly killed it, the variable-sweep wing engineering that made it revolutionary, every major variant from the canceled Navy F-111B to the electronic-warfare EF-111A Raven, and the combat record from Vietnam through Desert Storm that finally silenced two decades of critics.Existing F-111 books split this story across a photo-heavy visual history, a modeling-focused technical reference, and an operations-only account none giving you the complete picture. This book combines deep engineering analysis, full combat history, first-person aircrew accounts, genuine escape-capsule survival stories, and head-to-head comparisons with the F-15E, Tornado, and F-14, in a single premium volume built for enthusiasts who want the whole story, not another photo album.If you've ever wanted to understand how a program written off as a procurement disaster became one of the most quietly dominant strike aircraft in aviation history, scroll up and grab your copy today.
