Born of necessity during the Vietnam War, the Vought A-7 Corsair II
ushered in a level of lethality, target accuracy, and economy not
realized in any plane before it, and, arguably, any that followed.
Originally designed as a "bomb truck," the A-7 would, with the
assistance (and insistence) of the US Air Force, realize its full
potential. It was the first combat aircraft to feature a heads-up
display (HUD)-an incredibly accurate, integrated navigation/weapons
computer-and a host of other innovations like fly-by-wire and
forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, abilities today's combat
pilot takes for granted. This book tells the story of the A-7 from
design and development to combat deployment from Vietnam to its
last use in Operation Desert Storm. Its multiple variants are
discussed along with its use by the US Navy and Air Force, as well
as overseas with the air forces of Greece and Portugal.
