The F-100 story is related from the supersonic search, until his last flights at the Air National Guard command in the lates '70. The development of the aircraft is very interesting. The '50 were special years in aviation progress! When the F-100 entered in service, the F-104 was in flight (duplicating his predecessor max speed!). The Vietnam years, wich were superbely explained in the book, put the name of the "Hun" with the stars. The book has another chapters as the Thunderbirds F-100, the NASA projects for a zero-lenght runway fighter, and the QF-100 also. The creation and first development of the "Wild weasel" version (later replaced with F-105 and F-4)is delightely related. It's a good book for a great plane.
