Description
The F-111 & EF-111 Units in Combat is a detailed study of one of the most innovative military aircraft designs of its time. The General Dynamics F-111 was a multi-role interceptor, naval fighter and strike bomber that introduced several groundbreaking features, including the variable-sweep wing and terrain-following radar. Despite its technical advantages, the F-111 suffered from structural issues and gained an unfairly negative reputation during its service in Vietnam. However, it proved to be highly effective in Operation Linebacker in 1972, delivering decisive blows with unprecedented accuracy. The aircraft's variants were later used in Operation Desert Storm, where they played a crucial role in destroying key military targets. This book provides a comprehensive look at the F-111 and EF-111 units in combat, covering their development, service history, and operational successes. With detailed photographs and illustrations, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in military aviation history.
