Confrontations between Libya, and the USA and France reached their
highest point in the period between April 1986 and early 1989. In
response to a Libyan-instigated and supported series of terror
attacks against US citizens and interests in Europe, in April 1986
the USA launched Operation El Dorado Canoyon - a series of raids
against carefully selected targets in Libya. Simultaneously, the
USA and France bolstered the military of the Chadian government,
enabling it to subsequently launch an all-out advance against
Libyan troops and proxy forces in the north of Libya. This
culminated in the series of spectacular campaigns better known as
'Toyota Wars', characterised by high speed of operations and
surprise. The Chadian Army defeated its opponents in 1987 and
nearly launched an invasion of Libya in 1988, successfully
concluding this conflict. This title closes the Libyan Air Wars
mini-series with a detailed insight into the final US-Libyan
confrontation, which took place in early 1989, and culminated in
another high-profile air combat between the most modern jet
fighters of the Libyan Arab Air Force, and the US Navy. As usual,
the volume is richly illustrated by well over 150 contemporary and
exclusive photographs, colour profiles, and maps, detailing the
history, training, equipment, markings and tactics of the involved
air forces.
