E-331 Osprey Publishing 2001 Paperback Very Good Trade PB. 8vo. Published by Osprey, Oxford, UK. 2001. 96 pages. Illustrated throughout. Osprey Combat Aircraft 27. Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. In August 1990 Saddam Hussein's Iraqi forces invaded and occupied the small Arab state of Kuwait. This book analyses the ensuing Gulf War (16 January-28 February 1991)-a war fought to expel Iraq and restore Kuwaiti independence if not, as one British MP tartly observed, to defend democracy. The allies under General Schwarzkopf launched five weeks of air attacks, deploying 1, 800 technologically highly advanced aircraft from the US, British, French and Saudi air forces. Many of these machines, including the British Tornadoes and US F-117A Stealth fighters, had never before engaged in combat, and their combined assault, watched by millions on TV, combined impressive accuracy with firepower to which the Iraqi forces had no answer. EB; Osprey Combat Aircraft 27; 7.22 X 0.23 X 9.88 inches; 96 pages.
