Red Flag takes the reader behind the scenes of the biggest, most complex, high tech military exercise held anywhere in the world. For two weeks of training - as intense as actual combat - allied air forces gather at Nellis Air Force base for a fully-integrated, war-conditioned exercise, involving every kind of military aircraft and asset, fighters, tankers, bombers, helicopters, satellites, and unmanned aircraft. With dynamic photographs and firsthand description, the book also gives a look at the updated version of Red Flag, where live and virtual elements come together to challenge warfighters, test command structures, control procedures, processes, and architecture.
Air International, "April 2007
" While there is plenty of information in the book about Red Flag,
a large number of pages are given over to the aircraft taking part
... It is clear that although Red Flag has its origins in the Cold
War, it is as relevant today as it ever was - a point on which the
author leaves us in no doubt."
Combat Aircraft, "April 2007
" In this well-illustrated volume, the author tells the story of
the USAF' s Red Flag exercises centered on Nellis AFB and held over
the vast Nellis Range Complex. The text gives a reasonable
background to the organization of the complex ... the photos are
all in color, punchy and well-produced ... Good subject, good
aircraft, good photographer."
