Development and Combat Across 80 Years Volume 3 – Second Generation and Growing Combat, 1952–1967 is the third of six volumes detailing the 80-year history of air-to-air missiles (AAM) as combat aircraft weapons and is the only comprehensive book on this subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first volume laid down the technical understanding for subsequent volumes. It describes how AAM are developed and fielded, the tactics for employing them, and an appreciation for why so many AAM shots miss their target. Volume 3 describes the development and fielding of AAM during the early Cold War period by all countries participating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach new missile type and model of the period are described with the motivation to undertake the program, details of development including flight testing, a general description, advantages and disadvantages, production and fielding where applicable, and service experience. A table of characteristics, technical diagrams, and photographs of the weapons and installation on fighter aircraft are provided. Each missile is also illustrated with a profile line drawing with scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combat record with these earliest missiles is reviewed with background on the conflict, the aircraft in combat with the AAM, and tables of ‘kills.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeriod photographs of the combat aircraft with AAM are included, along with the @War series signature colour profiles. All this lends an appreciation of the evolution of AAM, technologically and via combat experience, as supported by this first generation of missiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Helion and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603823034542,"sku":"9781806722952","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781806722952.jpg?v=1790746507","url":"https:\/\/rzm.com\/products\/air-to-air-missiles-volumes-3-development-and-combat-across-80-years-second-generation-and-growing-combat-19521967","provider":"RZM Imports Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
