Summary: Fantastic insight to the pilots and their missions
Comment: When I bought this book I expected a fairly dry and technical recounting of the planes' operation in the '91 Arabian Gulf war. While there is much attention to technical details this book spends a lot of time focusing on the people that flew and supported these remarkable aircraft.

If you're a fan of the "Mud Hen" or just interested in what it was really like to fly in Gulf War give this book a look. Well written and entertaining from cover to cover.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great book with actual combat experience
Comment: F-15E is a qite new aircraft when Desert Storm started. It's a new star to the US and brought back a lot of foottages of precision strke day or night.

But there were stories of those pilots when they were sent to the field. How did they prepare and how did they make them ready for the battle. You also can find the conflicting of rescuing down pilots and the commander of the SAR squadren. You also can find how those pilots came back in one piece and those who didn't and what happened.

With latest information and excellent combat experience, makes this book an excellent book not only to understand the F-15E, but also the real life and death of those pilots.

Rating: 3
Summary: More about the pilots than the aircraft
Comment: A great book about F-15E pilots experience in that war. It does not however specifically tell you anything much about how the aircraft performs or how it functioned in the gulf war out side of the pilots personal accounts. If you are interested in pilots war time experience - great. If , like me, you are more interested about the aircraft itself you might want to consider some thing else.
