Description
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler: The US Navy's Primary Fighter/Attack Aircraft The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a redesign of the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A/B Hornet, which first flew in 1980. Its primary role was to complement the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, serving in fleet defense interceptor and air superiority roles. The Hornet proved effective but was limited by its fuel capacity, which was addressed in the newer Super Hornet design. The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is now the primary fighter/attack aircraft used in the US Navy carrier fleet, replacing both the legacy Hornet and the F-14 Tomcat. Its airframe design was also used for the EA-18G Growler, which took over the electronic countermeasures role of the EA-6B Prowler. This book provides an in-depth look at the development and capabilities of these aircraft.
