The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is one of the most successful fighter
designs of the 20th century. The type first flew in 1972, transitioning
directly from the drawing board to production with remarkably few
hiccups. By late 1974, planes were already being delivered to operational
units, and it remains on active duty with several major international
militaries today, including the US Air Force. Along with an excellent
record for safety and reliability, the F-15 has also compiled more than 100
victories without a loss in air-to-air combat. This book has been brought
fully up to date with the latest variants, including the F-15EX Eagle II,
which entered service just in 2021. Aviation enthusiasts will enjoy more
than 300 images, with everything from detail shots on the ground to
action-packed aerial photography.
