GENERAL DYNAMICS F-16 FIGHTING FALCON

$9.95

Titles: General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon No’s 1 and 2

In 1972 the USAF held a competition for the design of a new Lightweight Fighter, following the lessons learned from the Vietnam war, where nimble enemy fighter showed up the lack of manouverability of the current US fighters. Two companies were selected to produce prototypes, one being the YF-17 designed by Northrop, and the second was the General Dynamics YF-16. The F-16 was selected as the winner of the contest.

The production F-16A aircraft first flew in 1976 and the aircraft has been in continuous production and development since, with over 5,000 produced for USAF and foreign customers. The latest variants are considerably more capable aircraft then the lightweight fighter originally envisaged.

We offer two titles on this extremely capable fighter which include four flight manuals covering most variants of the F-16 Fighting Falcon series. Each title is US$9.95. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
