Publisher's Synopsis
US Naval Air Station Miramar lives up to its nickname of "fightertown USA". Being home to dozens of F-14 Fighting Falcons, Miramar enjoys legendary status among aviators across the world since the formation of the Naval Fighter Weapons School, better known as Topgun. The school has modelled itself on a typical Soviet fighter regiment and has trained countless aviators in the art of successful dogfighting. Recently the school adapted its mission profiles to mirror the fighting tactics flown by the Iraqi forces. Each chapter in this book outlines the different functions of the school and breathtaking photographs of training sorties complement the text throughout.
