Modern Top Gun Manual

Attack Aircraft

by Lionel Levanthal

Modern conflicts are often decided by air power. In today’s world the superiority of a military force is often marked by the number of attack aircraft it can employ and how effectively it utilises them. Attack Aircraft features the best of the world’s elite planes in full illustrated detail.

In this latest addition to the Greenhill Military manual series, Anil Pustam evaluates and describes the leading makes and types and discusses their strengths and weaknesses. Each entry includes a photo, a detailed technical specification and background as to the plane’s history and capabilities.

The aircraft featured are from leading manufacturers in the USA, Great Britain, Europe, Russia and China. Such well-known aircraft as the F-15E, the F-16 and the Sea Harrier sit side-by-side with such lesser-known makes as Aermacchi’s M.346, Hindustan Aeronautic’s LCA and the Mitsubishi F-1.

As aviation technology changes so rapidly a modern and up-to-date guide is essential. Attack Aircraft in the Greenhill Military Manual series – with over 200 photographs and drawings – is just such a compact yet comprehensive guide.
