F-8 Crusader Fighter Units of the Vietnam War

F-8 Crusader Fighter Units of the Vietnam War -- Known as the last gunfighter for its 20-millimeter cannons, the F-8 Crusader was one of the most successful U.S. Navy fighters of the Vietnam War. During the 'Rolling Thunder' campaign, F-8s downed 19 North Vietnamese MiGs and proved indispensible as 'bomb trucks operating from ship-based Navy units and land-based Marine Corps units.

Complemented by a collection of rare photos from Navy arcives, the text includes several interviews with ex-Crusader pilots who explain tactics they used in bomber and fighter sorties. Thirty specially commissioned color drawings illustrate the 19 'MiG Killers' and the uniforms worn by F-8 pilots, and full appendices detail deployments, losses, and victories.
