“The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole fighter jet. It Is flown by the United States Air Force and Air National Guard.”(page 5) So begins this 32 page, 13 chapter book by John Hamilton. The photography will amaze the reader with every turn of the page. Photos taken of the F-16 flying in formation and solo, photos taken from inside the cockpit – both looking towards the pilot and giving the pilot’s view, and photos taken from below and from above the jet while in flight. The text speaks in generalities for the first few chapters and becomes more specific as it goes into its origins, pilots, cockpit, Fire-by-Wire, engine, and weapons.

Includes an eight term glossary with longer than usual definitions, and an index.
