Summary
The best of the best through Tom Clancy's eyes. A Guided Tour of an Air Force Combat Wing UPDATED WITH NEW MATERIALS AND PHOTOS- including cutting-edge information on the F-22 and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Tom Clancy's explorations of America's armed forces reveal exclusive, never-before-seen information on the people and technology that protect our nation. Now, the acclaimed author of Red Rabbit takes to the skies with the U.S. Air Force's elite: the Fighter Wing. With his compelling style and unerring eye for detail, Clancy captures the thrill of takeoff, the drama of the dogfight, and the relentless dangers our fighter pilots face every day of their lives.
