HMH PUBLICATIONS 039 Duke Hawkins Republic F-84F Thunderstreak (English)

The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak. This is the oldest aircraft in our collection: a popular first-generation aircraft, nearly 3,500 of which were built and used by 12 countries. The Thunderstreak was the first swept-wing fighter-bomber and flew for over two decades. Some pilots even managed to break the sound barrier in a dive! This 84-page book presents the aircraft in detail. Color photos in action are included, showing aircraft from several air forces, including those of Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, and more.
