Libyan Air Wars: Part 1: 1973-1985 (Africa@War)

Libyan air wars volume 1, Very well written book covering this part in history from the French in chad to the American navy off the coast of Libyan. Many pictures and line drawing help this book along the way. Easy to follow and understand book also shows the different countries that trained the pilots of this air force some of the countries did not do a good job according to the Libyan air force which the book tales about. Can’t wait for the next addition to arrive if like this volume well worth the wait. Still waiting for next volume

nice

I enjoy the subject matter of this book and the information gathered and presented within it is excellent. However, similar to Tom Cooper's other titles, the composition and grammar is really lacking. If it wasn't for my interest in the subject, I would have put it down almost immediately. That's exactly what happened when I handed the book to my wife, who is a professional writer, and asked her to critique the first two paragraphs of the first chapter. She couldn't get past the first paragraph. I understand Mr. Cooper is Austrian, so, if I had to guess, English is not his primary language. I think it would be highly beneficial for him to hire a good editor that can improve and finesse the composition and presentation of his writing and make it more readable.

There is plenty of good information for this time period. Just a bit of a dry boring read to me.
