In this second installment in the Warfighters series,
author/photographers Rich Llinares and Chuck Lloyd provide an
in-depth look at the United States Marine Corps aviation
organization and its specialized training unit the Marine Weapons
and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1). The squadron, located at Marine
Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, trains both fixed and rotary wind
aircrews in the "Six Functions of Marine Ari." Twice a year, the
fines aviators in the Marine Corps attend the intense WEapons and
Tactics Insturctor (WTI) course under the direction of some of the
best pilots in the world. Take to the skies over the Arizona desert
in the Marines most advanced aircraft. Join the amazing AV-8B
Harrier vertical short/takeoff and landing jet as it conducts close
air support missions in support of Marine ground troops. Strap in
to the advanced F/A-18 Hornet strike fighter on deep strike escort
missions with EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare jets. Join the crews
of the rugged KC-130 Hercules while they conduct demanding low
altitude aerial refueling missions. Marine aviation is more than
just fast jets; over half the Corps aircraft are helicopters. Fly
in the massive CH-53 Stallion helicopter on air combat maneuvering
training missions against the Marine Corps dedicated adversary
tactics squadron, the Snipers in their nimble F-5E Tiger II jets.
Get down low in the weeds with Marine CH-46E and UH-1N helicopters
as they conduct assault support missions with the devastating AH-1W
Cobra gunship. Through extensive research, and access to many of
the key personnel, both past and present, the authors tell the
complete story of Marine aviation and how it serves America\s 911
force - the U.S. Marine Corps. In rich detailed text and
spectacular full color photos the history of this amazing military
organization is described along with its force structure and air
wings. Hear directly from the Marines who planned and executed the
daring rescue of USAF Captain Scott O\Grady from war torn Bosnia.
Take a first hand look at how the unique MAWTS-1 unit teaches
Marine airmen to be experts in their aircraft and missions.
Warfighters 2 also contains a first hand look at the unique HMX-1
squadron which fulfills a number of key requirements from flying
the President to conducting the operations test and evaluation of
all rotary aircraft flown in the Marine Corps. Each of the aircraft
operated by the Marines are examined through words and pictures.
Join the aviation combat element of the few, the proud, the Marines
- the first to fight the last to leave.
