The Hornet's versatility in combat has made it one of the world's leading strike-fighter aircraft. It earned a reputation as America's 'universal soldier' during Operation Iraqi Freedom, with around 250 Hornets seeing action during the course of the conflict.This book examines the Hornet's deployment in each of its combat roles; attacking tanks and government buildings; deploying laser guided bombs and anti-raider missiles; and acting as an aerial tanker and reconnaissance platform for other strike-types.
