Description
The golden age of jet fighters is epitomized by the legendary ‘Century Series’ – long America’s frontline response to the threat posed by Soviet forces during the Cold War. Describing all six operational fighters in spectacular detail, Century Jets offers unmatched analysis of the F-100 Super Sabre, F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-104 Starfighter, F-105 Thunderchief and F-106 Delta Dart.
These aircraft were the ‘backbone’ of NATO’s tactical nuclear forces, and tasked with defending the American homeland and engaging a tenacious enemy in the skies over Vietnam. Heavily illustrated throughout with hundreds of magnificent photos, colour artwork and line drawings, this unique book presents a wealth of technical information, development profiles, service histories and combat records.
