Hornets over Iraq - The Saga Continues!,
By
This review is from: Us Navy Hornet Units of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Part Two (Combat Aircraft 58) (Paperback)
Tony Holmes scores another direct hit with this account of Navy Hornet drivers in combat over northern Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The Hornet's air war over northern Iraq was totally different in nature than that waged by F/A-18 units committed in the south. These Hornet units supported Special Operations Forces and Kurdish units tasked with pinning down Iraq divisions heading south to aid their comrades. Close air support was the name of the game for the Hornet units deploying from carriers Harry Truman and Theodore Roosevelt. As with part one of this set, Holmes' text benefits from the unparalled access he had to Hornet pilots who flew over Iraq. The book is chock full of combat stories that put you right in the cockpit. The text is complemented by dozens of photos, most in color, and five pages of F/A-18 side-views by Chris Davey. If you enjoy fast movers in action, you'll want to get this book - and the others in the series. |
