MIG Killers of the Vietnam War
Description
Air Force fighters didn't do well against North Vietnam's Air Force. Poorly performing missiles and inadequate ACM robbed many crews of kills. This 2005 Schiffer volume is a photo guide to the 100-odd Phantom and Thunderchief aircraft credited with victories over VPAF MiG-17s, -19s and -21s.
One hundred thirteen USAF F-4s and F-105s killed MiGs. McCarthy's book presents photos of 106 of that total, which is quite an accomplishment. About 80% are in color. Each MiG killer entry includes a short - sometimes only one or two sentences - description of the kill. Modellers should be forewarned: only about 60% of the pix show the aircraft in Vietnam War camo and markings. Almost all the remaining snaps show the aircraft in postwar garb, repainted for display, etc.
