"In this technically detailed history, Dennis R. Jenkins takes readers closer to the F/A-18 Hornet than anyone other than its designers and crew have ever been. You'll find a full exploration of the cutting-edge electronic systems that guide and protect the Hornet, and make it such a fearsome antagonist; see the integration of these highly advanced weapons systems; and embark on a knowledgeable tour of the developmental design of this astounding powerhouse of military muscle.

What's more, you'll also get a look - limited only by national security considerations - of advanced F-18 Hornet models now in development."--BOOK JACKET.
