The Boeing E3-A "Sentry" with its unmistakable silhouette is "the" AWACS aircraft par excellence (AWACS = Airborne Warning And Control System). The aircraft with the distinctive radome on its back has served in the role of high-performance reconnaissance and flying command centre since the late 1970s. Even major events, such as football matches, are monitored from an altitude of 12000 m in times of heightened terrorist threat. Bernd and Frank Vetter cover all the important topics from development to deployment and round it off with technical details and unique photos.
