F104F105

I saw the F105 loss numbers and wondered what Starfighters were doing in Vietnam. (thus the title line)

This Starfighter site is crammed with info, including ejector seats and the 12 planes we sold to Pakistan that were used in the 1971 war between Pakistan and India. I have never heard of this war.

Is there a good book on world "conflicts" a guy could use as "cliff notes"? History so far, holds little interest for me. (Or is that vice versa?)

        Excellent point. Also, the Soviets probably included gliders as "Aircraft" (n/t) - RobVG - 3/28/2002 3:44:50 PM
        
        The Soviets/Russians have some very good aircraft - Larry J - 3/28/2002 3:50:58 PM
