Vought A-7 Corsair II - The US Navy and US Air Force's Light Attack Aircraft (Legends of Warfare)
The Vought A-7 Corsair II was developed out of necessity during the Vietnam War, bringing a new level of accuracy, lethality, and cost-effectiveness to combat aircraft. Initially designed as a "bomb truck, " the A-7 reached its full potential with input from the US Air Force. It was the first combat aircraft to feature a heads-up display (HUD), a highly accurate navigation and weapons system, along with innovations like fly-by-wire and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras - technologies now standard in modern fighters.
This book covers the A-7's design, development, and combat service, from the Vietnam War to its final deployment during Operation Desert Storm. It also discusses its various versions and its use by the US Navy, Air Force, and the air forces of Greece and Portugal.
