Descriptionof F-8 Crusader vs MiG 17 1966-72
Manufacturer

Revered by Naval Aviators as the last of the gunfighters due to its quartet of Colt-Browning Mk 12 20 mm cannon, the F-8 Crusader enjoyed great success against VPAF MiG-17s during the Rolling Thunder campaign of 196668. But, the MiG-17s unequalled low-speed manoeuvrability, small size and powerful cannon armament meant that the American forces didnt have it all their own way. This fully illustrated book, featuring photographs, maps and battlescene artwork, reveals the tactics that were developed by pilots on both sides to give themselves the edge in air-to-air dogfights, allowing the reader to understand how the differing design and development doctrines played a part in combat.
