Book Synopsis US Navy F-4 Phantom II Units of the Vietnam War 1964-68 by : Peter E. Davies
Download or read book US Navy F-4 Phantom II Units of the Vietnam War 1964-68 written by Peter E. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The F-4 Phantom II is perhaps the most famous post-war fighter. Primarily used as a land-based fighter-bomber and reconnaissance platform, its naval origins and the immense contribution made to the US war effort in Vietnam by its original carrier-based versions began its legend. This title examines the unique aspects of the Phantom that made it so crucial to US Navy pilots during the Vietnam War – its massive engine power, long range, speed, the most powerful airborne search and fire-control radar installed in a fighter at the time, and of course its versatility as a ground attack and air-to-air platform. Packed with first hand accounts, unique profile artwork and rare photographs this is the history of one of the most important aircraft to be stationed on carriers off Southeast Asia during the war.
Download or read book Rampant Raider written by Stephen R Gray and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-05-11 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A member of Light Attack Squadron 212 s "Rampant Raiders," A-4 pilot Stephen R. Gray writes about his experiences flying combat sorties from the deck of an aircraft carrier during one of the most intense periods of aerial combat in U.S. history. From the perspective of a junior naval aviator, Gray reveals the lessons he learned first at the Naval Aviation Training Command and then in actual combat flying the Skyhawk from USS Bon Homme Richard in Vietnam. Training strengthens commitment, Gray points out, allowing ordinary men like him to fly dangerous missions. Readers will discover how circumstances created heroe--heroes who managed to overcome their personal fears for a greater cause--and how, despite the lack of public support for the war, the men remained committed to one another. The book addresses how men react to service during contentious political times to offer lessons relevant today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year was 1967, and the United States was in a vicious, deadly war against North Vietnam-a war in which political leaders lied to the American people. President Johnson commandeered the American youth, extracting them from their homes and their communities so they could fight a perpetual war he had no strategy or mettle to win.I was one of those American youth whose life changed overnight. When I joined the US Navy, I was sucked up in the vortex of deceit surrounding this trumped-up war. I served three combat deployments on the USS Hancock (CVA-19) aircraft carrier. It was a time of danger, affliction, toil, and stolen years. It was also a time of heartbreak, as I was painfully separated from Sandra, the love of my life and my future.By the grace of God, I returned home. But 58,318 of our finest soldiers, airmen, and sailors came back in body bags. And like most of those who returned home, I still carry the mental and physical scars that still linger on today.This is my story.

Toward this end, historian Gertrude M. Yeager has assembled the multidisciplinary collection Confronting Change, Challenging Tradition.

The selections are arranged in two sections: Culture and the Status of Women, and Reconstructing the Past.
Download or read book F-8 Crusader written by Peter E. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With specially commissioned artworks and dynamic combat ribbon diagrams, this volume reveals how the 'last of the gunfighters', as the F-8 was dubbed by its pilots, prevailed against the growing MiG threat of the Vietnamese People's Air Force. When the Vietnam War began, the F-8 was already firmly established as a fighter and reconnaissance aircraft. It entered combat as an escort for Alpha strike packages, braving the anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles alongside the A-4 Skyhawk bombers and meeting MiGs for the first time on 3 April 1965. Although the Crusader was nicknamed 'last of the gunfighters', its pilots employed 'secondary' AIM-9D Sidewinder missiles in all but one of their MiG kills, with guns also used as back-up in three. Its 20 mm guns were unreliable as they often jammed during strenuous manoeuvres, although they were responsible for damaging a number of MiGs. However, in combat the F-8 had the highest 'exchange ratio' (kills divided by losses) at six-to-one of any US combat aircraft involved in the Vietnam War. Through the copious use of first-hand accounts, highly detailed battlescene artwork, combat ribbon diagrams and armament views, Osprey's Vietnam air war specialist Peter E. Davies charts the successful career of the F-8 Crusader over Vietnam.
