More about the book

Focusing on the tactical reconnaissance capabilities of the Hunter FR10, the book details its operational use from 1961 to 1970. The aircraft, already effective in ground attack, was equipped with advanced Vinten F95 cameras, enhancing its reconnaissance role. Retaining heavy armament for defense and target marking, it required skilled pilots adept in solo navigation at high speeds and low altitudes, primarily experienced fast jet pilots on their second or third tours.
