F-15 Eagle: McDonnell Douglas Strike Fighter

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is one of the most successful fighter

designs of the 20th century.

The type first flew in 1972, transitioning

directly from the drawing board to production with remarkably few

hiccups. By late 1974, planes were already being delivered to operational

units, and it remains on active duty with several major international

militaries today, including the US Air Force.

Along with an excellent

record for safety and reliability, the F-15 has also compiled more than 100

victories without a loss in air-to-air combat.

This book has been brought

fully up to date with the latest variants, including the F-15EX Eagle II,

which entered service just in 2021.

Aviation enthusiasts will enjoy more

than 300 images, with everything from detail shots on the ground to

action-packed aerial photography.
