Battle Stations III
Here
are four more magnificent examples of machines that won the day on the
battlefield. All of them are US aircraft. One, the B-17 Flying Fortress,
is a warhorse of World War II; another, the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth,
has flown undetectably for more than 20 years. And the versatility and
computer technology of the final two, the F-18 Hornet and F-15 Eagle,
have put American pilots back in charge of the skies.
Each section of this website contains a brief history of the aircraft plus details of its construction and performance. There is also information on how to learn more about these amazing war horses.
