ISBN10: 1849089760, ISBN13: 9781849089760, [publisher: Osprey Publishing] Hardcover For more than a decade at the height of the Cold War, the US Air Force operated a covert, top secret training program called CONSTANT PEG. In 2006 the program was eventually declassified - and the incredible story of America's secret MiGs emerged. For the first time one of the original "Red Eagles" - Col. Gaillard Peck Jr. - reveals what it was like to learn to pilot secretly obtained Soviet aircraft, enabling American pilots to train against the hardware they would have to face if the Cold War ever went hot. Illustrated. First printing with full number line. 320 numbered pages. As new hardcover in a very fine, mylar covered, dust jacket. [Foxboro, MA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2012]

ISBN10: 1849089760, ISBN13: 9781849089760, [publisher: Osprey] Hardcover First Edition This book is the story of a group of military pioneers who were intent on using their experience and knowledge to develop a new training paradigm for fighter pilots. As a Vietnam veteran and Phantom F-4 pilot, Col. Gail Peck (call-sign "EVIL") had been disappointed with the level of training offered to US fighter pilots. He was determined to ensure that US fighter pilots were unbeatable in the air particularly against their Cold War adversaries flying the already legendary MiG fighter jets. Working with the support of General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Jr., and under conditions of the upmost secrecy the CONSTANT PEG program was launched with Peck as the original "Red Eagle."This fascinating unknown history was first revealed in Steve Davies' acclaimed Red Eagles: America's Secret MiGs but this book is the insider's perspective complete with never-before published anecdotes and photographs, revealing how Peck battled bureaucracy and skepticism to ultimately establish the premier fighter pilot training center. Along the way Peck explores many of the central questions surrounding the project: why did the combat Air Forces of the USA find themselves in need of a major revision in their approach to air-to-air combat training?
