From the mid-1960s until the end of the Cold War, the United States
Air Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, eventually creating
a secret squadron dedicated to exposing American fighter pilots to
enemy MiGs. In this program, MiGs were secretly acquired and made
air-worthy, before selected ace pilots were trained to fly the assets
as they were flown by America's enemies. This book tells the
fascinating story of the Red Eagles, using recently declassified
information and firsthand accounts from the pilots who took part in
the program.
