Title: A letdown
Product review: Aviation enthusiasts will attest there is a massive hole in literature concerning the Iraq-Iran air war. This book does not help fill this gap. Whole sections are simply lifted from other works, for example, Paul Gillchrist's "Tomcat!" A supposed cornerstone of this volume is the chapter concerning the Iranian use of F-14 aircraft. Tom Cooper unashamedly plagerizes Gillchrist's volume for much of this chapter. He does not offer citations and whole sections are copied word for word. There are also very few citations in the other chapters, and aviation literature purists will recognize the published sources for much of what is written uncited.
