Zustand: very good condition. First Edition. - - For nearly a quarter of a Century, from 1962 to 1986, the CF-104 Starfighter roamed the skies of Western Europe as part of Canada's contribution to NATO. The momentous events of that era - from the Camelot years of the Kennedy administration, through Vietnam and Trudeaumania, to the birth of Glasnost - altered and shaped Canadian Foreign policy, and this was reflected in the changing nature of the Starfighter programme. - From nuclear strike/reconnaissance to conventional attack, the aircraft, tactics and roles were continually updated. David Bashow details the history of these changes and how they affected operations. Much more than a technical record this is also a human story, made up of recollections from many contributors including the author himself, of the aircraft, people and events captured with the immediacy that only a participant could provide. Always controversial, the Starfighter gained notariety during its career and the author deals with these aspects objectively, helping to dispel the myth of the "widow-maker". - The CF-104 Starfighter bridged the span of military aviation technology from the early post-war jets to the CF-18. It has earned a place in aviation history as distinctively Canadian as that enjoyed by the Spitfire and Sabre. - The text is enhanced by a superb collection of colour and black and white photographs and eight stunning colour profiles by renowned aiation artist Ron Lowry. 221 p. many photos and illustrations Hardcover with dust jacket, large format.
