| Description: | Originally intended as a trainer, the Anglo-French Sepecat jet, equipped with the very latest in weapon-aiming and navigational equipment, eventually became the backbone of the RAF's tactical strike-attack and recce forces for a decade from the mid-1970s.In these pages, the Jaguar Boys – pilots, engineer and ground crew – tell of the aircraft's drawbacks and joys, their sadness at losses, and their pleasure at its development into a readily deployable and outstandingly capable fighter-bomber for the post-Cold War era.Then came the Gulf War which signaled the start of a hectic sequence of operational adventures and upgrades for the ‘Boys'and seasoned veterans tell of action over Iraq and in the Balkans.One of the best-loved of RAF types, the Jaguar commanded a fierce loyalty and affection which shines through in these accounts of an aircraft that will live forever in the memory. |
