Description
The F-102 Delta Dagger Units is an illustrated study of the design, development, and deployment of the F-102 fighter jet. In response to the threat posed by Soviet nuclear-armed bombers during World War II, the US military sought to create a new breed of fighter that could intercept these aircraft in time. A massive research and development effort produced the F-102A "1954 Fighter," featuring advanced technologies such as afterburning turbojets, fire control systems, and radar-based guidance. In service, F-102As provided air defense in Europe, the Far East, and Southeast Asia, protecting US airbases from attack and escorting bombers on their missions. This book provides a detailed look at the complex research program behind the F-102 and its role in Vietnam, shedding light on the design, development, and deployment of this iconic fighter jet.
