Description: Wolfpack - Hunting MiGs over Vietnam (Airlife) This absorbing book describes not only how the F-4 Phantom was evolved to cope with the ever-changing situation in Vietnam, in particular in dealing with enemy radar and surface-to-air missile sites, but also how it was flown in combat against the MiGs. The author pulls no punches in describing the F-4 shortcomings, particularly before gun pods were fitted (reinforcing the fighter pilot's traditional view that a missile is no substitute for a cannon). Missile failures were numerous and it was only after guns were fitted that successes really began to rise. With its numerous first-hand action accounts and penetrating analysis of why operations succeeded or failed, this is a book which anyone interested in the air war over Vietnam has simply got to read.ISBN : 1 85310 005 6Medium hardback format, 138 pages, with many black and white photographsBrand new, mint condition.
