The F-8 Crusader scored the highest kill ratio of any U.S. fighter aircraft in the Vietnam War. The book is filled with authentic re-creations of Crusader v MiG fights and vivid descriptions of the people and events that are part of the F-8 story. As the Navy's first supersonic aircraft, the Crusader holds an honored spot in carrier flying. The author effectively combines an account of its operational history with an explanation of its design, construction, and modifications,and key actions in Vietnam.
