Osprey Pub Co, 2019. New book, 96 pages, COM128.

Flown principally by the 8th and 49th Fighter Bomber Wings, the F-80 served until the end of the war, completing an astonishing 98,515 combat sorties, shooting down 17 aircraft (including three of the vastly superior MiG-15s), dropping over 33,000 tons of bombs, and firing over 80,000 air-to-ground rockets.

Filled with first-hand accounts and rare colour photographs taken by the veterans… Leer más
