Introduction
BAOTD Part 1 is a premium quality coffee table book that textually and visually tells the story of the F-15E Strike Eagle from 1978 to 2002.
It will be published in 2025 and will be followed by Part 2 (2003-2024) in 2026.
Part 1 traces the history and development of the Strike Eagle from its conception as a replacement for the F-111 in 1984 to the present day. Every aspect of the aircraft and its operation are examined including airframe, powerplant, avionics and weapon systems.
BAOTD P1 is based on my F-15E All Weather Attack Aircraft book (published originally by Crowood in 2003). The words are laid out in coffee table format, with full-colour images throughout.
Limited edition print run of 1,000 numbered copies.
