Strike Eagle - Flying the F-15E in the Gulf War

2005, Potomac Books Inc, ISBN 978-1574888850

Paperback, 5" x 7.7" (12.7 cm x 19.6 cm), 230 pages

The book focuses on the 48 F-15E's and their aircrew who fought over Iraq. Flying a jet that was barely combat qualified when the war began, they had to cope with inexperience, spotty leadership, bureaucratic rigidity in higher command, fatigue of 2-3 missions per day and formidable Iraqi ground defenses. This thorough, readable account of state-of-the-art warfare is based on extensive interviews as well as documents.

Israeli F-15 Eagle Units in Combat

2006, Osprey Publishing, ISBN 978-1846030475

Paperback, 7,2" x 9,7" (18.3 cm x 24.6 cm), 96 pages, 115 images

Author Shomo Aloni not only writes about the combat usage of the F-15 by the Israelis, but also its acquisition, deployment, non-combat losses and upgrading. It's a fascinating story, told well and with Osprey's usual outstanding color plates. What is surprising is that the normally secretive Israeli Air Force allowed this kind of information to be published about a type that is in front-line service.
