Debrief: A Complete History of U.S. Aerial Engagements - 1981 to the Present

by Craig Brown

Every engagement that has resulted in an official 'kill' by all U.S. forces since the end of the Vietnam conflict is chronicled in this book. Not only is this the only complete work on the subject, but almost every one of the fifty-six accounts are told by the pilots involved. These engagements involve F-14s, F-15Cs, F-15Es, F-16s, F/A-18s, and A-10s. Many of these stories have never been told outside of classified reports, and many of the photos have never been previously published. Debrief is the first book from author and former USAF fighter pilot Craig "Quizmo" Brown. The foreword is by USAF Ace and legend BGen Robin Olds.

Outstanding reference and sourcebook for the budding airpower scholar, as well as being fascinating and enjoyable to read. Air to air combat changed greatly in the years following Vietnam, and this exposition of US aerial victories in the 1980s through early 2000s shows just how much it changed. First hand account of the aircrews are blended in with debriefing information from the controllers as well as other supporting sources. A fantastic, useful reference for the professional scholar, hobbyist, gamer, or fiction writer.
