Lockheed F-22 Raptor

The F-22 will be the U.S. Air Force's premier fighter for the first decades of the 21st century. Like other expensive military programs, the F-22 endured continuous scrutiny throughout its development, the aircraft that evolved was worth the wait. The F-22 is definitely "top gun".  It is more agile than current U.S. aircraft, has stealth capability, and is flexible in both air-to-air and air-to-ground attack missions. The Raptor is planned to start operational service with the U.S. Air Force in the year 2004, and when on-line, will provide a capability far beyond that of any other fighter aircraft. This book offers 72 pages with over 140 fantastic photographs of the F-22 history.
