Reader Reviews:new details brought to light (2/2 people found this helpful)this book contains some excellent accounts of the F-16s involvemnt with the cloak and agger aspects of Operation IRaqi Freedom amongst which is an account of the aircrfats part in the rescue of 50+ members of the SBS (you may remember news reports at the time showing iraqs celebrating the capture of a land rover near mosul in late march 2003). there are also accounts from f-16 pilots operationg out of jordan, which had only previusly been rumoured. the book is not a work of propaganda to glorify the US military in fact the author draws attention to numerous failures perhaps the most important being the failure of bombs dropped from an F-16 failing to explode during an attempt to kill Saddam's cousin "chemical Ali". the only down side this is book is the accounts from pilots engaged in Suppression of enemy air defence (SEAD) missions as after awhile it becomes quite repetative all-in-all a good read Similar ProductsUS Marine and RAAF Hornet Units of Operation Iraqi Freedom (Combat Aircraft) F-15E Strike Eagle Units in Combat 1991 - 2005 (Combat Aircraft) F-15C/E Eagle Units in Operation Iraqi Freedom (Combat Aircraft) F/A-18 Hornet & Super Hornet Units in Operation Iraqi Freedom (Combat Aircraft) F-15C Eagle Units in Combat (Combat Aircraft) CategoriesAmazon.co.uk places this book into the following categories:
