The Red Army is pouring over the border, hitting NATO with its superiority in tanks, men, and conventional firepower. How would the U.S. and its allies strike back? The Allied Tactical Air Force is composed of American and European pilots strapped into the cockpits of the world's most lethal aircraft. With F-14s, the long-range F-111F, Harriers, and missile-firing anti-tank helicopters, they are ready to strike behind enemy lines, neutralize the Soviet Air Force, and blunt the armor/infantry attack. Written by a leading expert, drawing on the words of the men who would do the fighting and the commanding, here is a riveting look into the million-dollar killing machines, the high-tech weapons systems, the formations, the reconnaissance, and the split-second coordinating it will take to battle the enemy. From defense suppression to knocking out bridges to high-altitude dogfights, Air Battle Central Europe shows what the battle would really be like — and who would win it. “Pervaded with realism … an excellent contribution to the literature on tactical airpower.” — Benjamin S.
