At 20,000 feet, any fight you survive is a victory...A fully-illustrated oral history of pilots and their planes. From the savage dogfights of World War II to the high-tech missile duels of today, those who wage war in the skies-and the machines they fly-are a breed apart. These are their stories, in their own words. In Air Combat, veteran and military author Robert F.
