HAMMER FROM ABOVE(I***N=9780891418719) 英文原版 mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

　　In Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Marine Corps’ ground campaign

up the Tigris and Euphrates was notable for speed and

aggressiveness unparalleled in military history. Little has been

written, however, of the air *** that guaranteed the drive’s

success. Paving the way for the rush to Baghdad was “the hammer

from above”–in the form of attack helicopters, jet fighters,

transport, and other *** aircraft. Now a former Marine fighter

pilot shares the gripping never-before-told stories of the Marines

who helped bring to an end the regime of Saddam Hussein.

As Jay Stout reveals, the ai***ar had actually been in the

planning stages ever since the victory of Operation Desert Storm,

twelve years earlier. But when Operation Iraqi Freedom officially

commenced on March 20, 2003, the Marine Corps entered the fight

with an aviation arm at its smallest since before World War II.

Still, with the motto “Speed Equals Success,” the separate air and

ground units acted as a team to get the job done.

Drawing on exclusive interviews with the men and women who flew

the harrowing missi***, Hammer from Above reveals how pilots and

their machines were tested to the limits of endurance, venturing

well beyond what they were trained and designed to do. Stout takes

us into the cockpits, revealing what it was like to fly these

intense combat operati*** for up to eighteen hours at a time and to

face incredible volumes of fire that li***lly shredded aircraft in

midair during battles like that over An Nasiriyah .

With its dynamic de*i*** of perilous flights and bombing

runs, Hammer from Above is a worthy tribute to the men and women

who flew and maintained the aircraft that so inspired their

brothers in arms and terrified the enemy.
