Now, for the first time an insider's look at a US Air Force combat wing – the planes, the technology and the people – with Tom Clancy as your guide.

· Detailed analyses of the US Air Force's premier fighter planes, including the F-15 Eagle
· Exclusive photographs, illustrations and diagrams
· An insider's look at the people behind the planes and weapons
· Combat strategies and training techniques used by the US Air Force
