摘要

Readers with a passion for the Cold War era are in for a rare treat with Steve Davies' latest book Red Eagles For many years, rumours had existed in the Westrnthat the USAF was operating a squadron of MiGs, but no one could substantiate the claims. Those of us fortunate to fight the Aggressors were always amazed at how much intelligence the USAF had on the MiG, but assumed it had come from Soviet sources. Davies has managed to lift the lid' on what was the USAF's biggest secret - the 'black' programme code-named Constant PegrnThe unit formed at Tonopah, Nevada, to evaluate Soviet aircraft was the 4477th Test and EvaluationrnFlight, later named Red Eagles. Stories from individuals who flew the MiGs give the reader an insight on what it was like to live under this cloak of secrecy.
