"Red Eagles" tells the story of this squadron from the first tests of MiGs following the Vietnam War when the USAF had been woefully under-prepared in aerial combat These initial flights would develop into the "black" "Constant Peg" program At a secret air base in Nevada, ace American fighter pilots were presented ожаеу with a range of different MiG jets with a simple remit: to expose "the threat" to as many of their brethren as possible Maintaining and flying these "assets" without spare parts or manuals was an almost impossible task, putting those flying the MiGs in mortal danger on every flight Despite these challenges, in all more than 5900 American aircrews would train against America's secret MiGs, giving them the skills they needed to face the enemy in real combat situations For the first time, this book tells the story of "Constant Peg" in the words of the men who made it happen Формат издания: 16 см х 24 см Автор Steve Davies.  ArmstroИздательство: Osprey Publishing, 2008 г Суперобложка, 352 стр ISBN 978-1-84603-378-0 Язык: Английский.
