Originally designed by McDonnell Douglas, the F-15 has proved to be one of the most versatile aircraft produced in recent times. It is an outstanding air superiority and interceptor fighter and in its Strike Eagle form, a world-beating all-weather groundattack platform for a wide variety of sophisticated air-to-ground weapon systems.

The Eagle continues to play a key role wherever US and NATO forces are called upon and where control of the skies is an imperative part of the mission. The aircraft also serves with the air forces of Israel, Japan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

The perfect introductions for the general reader, enthusiast and modeller alike wishing to find a succinct yet detailed introduction to the design and history of the aircraft that have made history. Why was the aircraft conceived? What was it like to fly in combat? Who were the people who designed it and who became famous for flying it? What were its virtues and vices? These questions are answered and a wealth of technical data, additional information and suggestions for further reading are provided.
