Description
Flashpoints: A highly illustrated survey of air warfare in the Cold War's flashpoints. From 1956 to 1988, eight major conflicts saw air power play a crucial role in shaping their outcomes.
Acclaimed aviation historian Michael Napier explores the development of tactics and the use of modern aircraft types during this period, including the Westland Wyvern and Folland Gnat. The book features over 240 images and maps to illustrate its authoritative account of these significant air wars.
The post-war years saw a revolution in aviation technology, with both NATO and Warsaw Pact forces deploying cutting-edge systems alongside relatively obscure aircraft types. This comprehensive study provides a detailed look at the role of air power in some of the most important conflicts of the Cold War era.
