Concord Color Series #4016

96 pages, 294 color photographs. A superb photographic account of the world's frontline air defense/interdiction/strike aircraft-the Tornado. The Tornado made headlines during the 1991 Gulf War, gaining fame and popularity with the RAF and Italian Air Force. Today, the UK, Italy, Germany and Sandi Arabia are the only Tornado operators, and each squadron of these four air forces that used the Tornado are documented in explicit color photos, with lots of air-to air photography.
