5.0 out of 5 stars Great History and Technical Book, March 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle (Aerofax series) (Paperback)

This book gives a detailed look at the history of the F-15, and contains one of the better technical descriptions I have seen in print, covering all the electronics systems, weapons, and the airplane itself. Also included is a list of the air-to-air kills made by the F-15 in Israeli, Saudi, and U.S. service. Photos are included of all 20 prototype aircraft, as well as photos of each operating air force. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Focuses on the technical, July 4, 2003

By A Customer

This book focuses on the technical aspects of the F-15 program, and gives a good overview of the competition, development, and history of the F-15. It does not cover the operational deployment of the airplane in any depth. There are lots of great photos (although the paper quality is not so good). The author obviously likes the F-15 since this is the third book I have purchased by him.

3.0 out of 5 stars The F-15 Eagle, December 27, 2000

By	jason wong (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

A wonderful book, this is an enthusiast's book, if you would like to learn more about this soon to be classic warplane, this is an excellent addition to your library. However, if you're looking for a book with performance, maneuverability, radar range, strengths and weaknesses, you'll have to find more books on the Eagle. This book does come with plentiful pictures (not many color pictures though) Technical schematics, and some history. You might enjoy this book if you're a complete enthusiast like me
