Con n Bạc brings to life an epic war drama following the F-4 Phantom and the MiG-21 Fishbed, a rivalry that lasted through changing wars and ages. Lost in three acts, through three separate wars, the reader gets in the cockpit of the two legendary Cold War fighter planes. Amongst a supporting cast of pilots, mechanics, and passersby, the flying machines are mythologized while they unfold through successive conflicts.
A written exercise in flight procedure, survival, history and duty. A love letter to the planes and their systems, tangled up in lives and stories. An ode to men of history and an ode to the machines.
