Firsthand accounts and detailed analysis of aerial combat over Vietnam ? from the other side ? are published here for the first time, along with many rare photographs of both the pilots and their aircraft. VPAF pilots themselves discuss aerial operations and tactics, and how they approached the gradual escalation of the war flying the legendary MiG-17 and MiG-21. Details are given on specific missions, including their approach to flying against American F-105s, F-4s, F-8s, and B-52s.
