Description

The MiG-17/19 Aces of the Vietnam War is a detailed analysis of the Vietnamese pilots who challenged the US air superiority during the Vietnam War. Despite being equipped with older, less advanced aircraft, the VPAF pilots proved to be formidable opponents, taking advantage of the MiG's low-speed maneuverability and powerful cannon armament to gain the upper hand. This book provides previously unavailable information on the exploits of these Vietnamese pilots, shedding new light on the David and Goliath contest between the US and North Vietnam. With access to recently released archives in Vietnam, the author presents a comprehensive and authoritative study of this often-overlooked aspect of the war. With 96 pages of in-depth information, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Vietnam War and the role of aviation in it.
