Beschreibung:
Having honed their piloting skills on the subsonic MiG-17 and transonic MiG-19, the Vietnamese Peoples'' Air Force (VPAF) received their first examples of the legendary MiG-21 supersonic fighter in 1966. Soon thrown into combat over North Vietnam, the guided-missile equipped MiG-21 proved a deadly opponent for the USAF, Navy and Marine Corps crews striking at targets deep into communist territory. Most of the VPAF''s 12+ aces scored their bulk of their kills in the MiG-21, which was then the best fighter produced by Russia''s premier fast jet manufacturer, Mikoyan Gurevich. Well over 200 MiG-21s were supplied to the VPAF, and the numerous models and the schemes they wore are chronicled in great detail in this unique volume.
