Descrizione
Finally, the definitive book on the development of the Chance Vought F-8 Crusader, the Navy’s first operational supersonic fighter. The F-8 went on to a colorful career during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War where it distinguished itself as one of America’s top MiG-killing aircraft.
Covering the F-8’s design and evolution from earliest Navy BuAer specs through mock-up, prototype, flight test, and carrier qualifications, author Bill Spidle takes you on a journey through Cold War history with a selection of never-before-seen photographs acquired through his close association with the Vought Heritage archives in Dallas, Texas.
