Shock and Awe

US Air Power Series

by Lionel Levanthal

Greenhill is proud to present a new series of books detailing American dominance in the air. The US Air Power Series is the definitive illustrated guide to recent American dominance in the skies. Covering the planes and crews of the USAF as well as Naval, Marine and Army air wings, these books cover a period in which American pilots have prevailed in all combat situations and have laid the foundation for the swift and decisive victories achieved during that time.

The 72 pages include well over 110 photographs, 16 pages of which are in colour, and every photo has a detailed caption outlining combat histories and technical specification. The series will cover all the major conflicts in which the US has been involved recently including both Gulf Wars, the Balkans and Afghanistan. Modern Attack Planes features the aircraft and weapons that contribute to dominance on the battlefield; aircraft such as the F-117 ‘Stealth’, the A-10 ‘Tankbuster’ and the AV-8B Harrier II, as well as a selection of the vast array of weaponry they are capable of carrying including laser-guided bombs, anti-ship and close air support missiles, JDAM and many others.

Modern Air Superiority Planes features the cutting edge of America’s aircraft and weaponry that contribute to its massive combat might. The book includes some of the most famous names in operation today: the F-14 Tomcat and the F-15 Eagle amongst others as well as a selection of the massive air-to-air armoury available to them such as the Sidewinder and the AMRAAM.

Author Anthony A. Evans has been publishing books on military matters for over 20 years. His most recent is The Gulf War in the GI Series.
