Produktinformationen zu „Phantom Boys Volume 2 (ePub)“
The highly anticipated follow-up has "more scintillating stories from both the front and rear cockpits of one of the world's most legendary jet fighters" (Air Classics).
Once again Richard Pike has brought together brilliant, hitherto unpublished accounts across eighteen chapters. And now there is coverage of the Americans. So, with both British and American perspectives, Phantom Boys 2 is packed with exhilarating action. From combat in the Vietnam War to life after the Falklands War, readers will experience a variety of wartime and peacetime tales. An array of narratives from air and ground crew cover adventures across the world; from the UK, US and Germany to the Far East. It also includes the fascinating story of one female fighter controller's chance to fly in a Phantom during the 1970s. Throughout the book Richard Pike captures the drama and emotion of life in the cockpit. With such detailed stories, readers will be gripped by this captivating book.
"Pike has done an excellent job of drawing the reader into the cockpit and then into the skies. The shared tales are engaging and quickly read. While each tale is relatively short-typically less than fifteen pages-all are packed with the detalis, sights, and sounds of flying one of the modern age's most iconic jet fighters." -Air Power History
