Summary
In 1973, the United States Air Force asked aircraft companies to design a new, lightweight fighter aircraft. The result was the F/A-18 Hornet. The Hornet entered regular military service in 1983 and made its first war appearance in 1991 in the Gulf War. Since then, Hornets have been involved in actions in Bosnia-Herzegovina and have stayed in the Persian Gulf to prevent Iraqi aggression. The Hornet has proved to be valuable in fighting terrorists in Afghanistan. This book tells the story of the F/A-18, complete with vivid photos and details about what makes the Hornet such a special plane.
