F/A-18 Hornet Fighter-Bomber and Its Modifications. The Striking Force of American Aircraft Carriers
49.99 €
The F/A-18 Hornet is not only the main striking force of American aircraft carriers, but is also rightfully recognized as one of the most technologically advanced and effective multi-role fourth-generation fighters. The aircraft immediately had a dual purpose - a fighter and an attack aircraft, which is reflected in its letter designation: F (fighter), A (attack). The F/A-18 received its baptism of fire in 1986 in Libya, then showed excellent performance during operations in Iraq (1991), Bosnia (1995), Afghanistan (2001) and other conflicts. In total, more than two thousand Hornets of various modifications were built. The result of the first significant modernization was the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. It has the most extensive measures to reduce radar visibility among all modern fighters, with the exception of the F-22 and F-35. The Super Hornet became the basis for the creation of the EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, designed to suppress ground and shipborne radars. The Super Hornet will remain in service for the foreseeable future, because in terms of its characteristics it is significantly inferior only to fifth-generation aircraft. It was on the operational Super Hornets that Hollywood filmmakers shot the sequel to the cult film Top Gun – Top Gun: Maverick. The new book by the leading historian of modern aviation is the most detailed account of the creation, design, modifications, service and combat of the main winged aircraft of the US Navy carrier-based aviation. The publication is illustrated with many drawings and photographs.
