View From the Cockpit: Flying Military Aircraft - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Describing the sights, sounds, smells, and what it is really like to fly in a wide range of military aircraft

Reviving a feature of old aviation magazines, this book's detailed accounts give the reader an opportunity to place him or herself in the cockpit, sharing the what it is really like to sit inside a warplane. Few civilians and these days few journalists get the chance to fly in a combat aircraft; the author has been lucky enough to experience flying in a wide range of military planes ranging from the Chipmunk and Bulldog to huge multi-engine craft, front-line combat aircraft, such as the Jaguar, Phantom, Harrier, Buccaneer, Hawk, Hornet, and Tornado, and with the "Blue Angels" and Red Arrows. Combining narrative, interviews, and first-hand descriptions of handling aircraft—including each craft's quirks and vices, this book offers a unique insight into military flying.
