No Backup. No Mercy. Just the Eagle...and it's kill zone. Picture this: Over the vast, blistering deserts of Iraq, you're high above the earth, the horizon stretching endlessly in all directions. The radio crackles, and your wingman breaks the silence: "FOX 3!" In the blink of an eye, his missile arcs through the sky, ripping through the air faster than the speed of sound, and the enemy bandit disappears into a blinding flash of smoke and flames. In that moment, the sky belongs to you. Wings of Fire isn't just a recounting of the F-15's combat record-it's a story about the pilots who flew it,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
No Backup. No Mercy. Just the Eagle...and it's kill zone. Picture this: Over the vast, blistering deserts of Iraq, you're high above the earth, the horizon stretching endlessly in all directions. The radio crackles, and your wingman breaks the silence: "FOX 3!" In the blink of an eye, his missile arcs through the sky, ripping through the air faster than the speed of sound, and the enemy bandit disappears into a blinding flash of smoke and flames. In that moment, the sky belongs to you. Wings of Fire isn't just a recounting of the F-15's combat record-it's a story about the pilots who flew it, the battles they fought, and the moments of sheer terror and triumph that came with every mission. It's about the heart-pounding rush of being the fastest thing in the sky, with missiles at the ready, and an enemy lurking just beyond the horizon. From its early days over the Sinai, where the F-15 first proved itself in combat, to the skies over Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, the Eagle has carved its reputation as the ultimate air superiority fighter. And its story doesn't end there-decades later, it's still flying, with its talons as sharp as ever. This is the F-15 Eagle, the undisputed king of the sky. Re-live the battles, the moments, and the adrenaline that made it a legend.
