A range of different fighter operations are analyzed, starting with the Royal Flying Corps squadron on the Western Front in World War I and including campaigns such as the USAAF Mustang bomber escort mission to Japan from Iwo Jima, operations in Korea, Vietnam and the Falkland Islands and ending with the low-level ground-attack operations performed by RAF Tornadoes in the Middle East, and their role in liberating Kuwait from Saddam Hussein.
