AFGHANISTAN 1979-88: Air Campaign 35

The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan was fought as much in the air as on the ground. It pitted the might of a Cold War superpower--from supersonic Tu-22 Backfire strategic bombers to Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunships--against a guerrilla army that lacked any air power at all. The Afghan rebels learnt new techniques of camouflage, deception, set ambushes and more. Fully illustrated most in color.
