Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet & EA-18G Growler - A Developmental and Operational History

The Boeing F/A-18E/F has its roots in the late-1980s Hornet 2000 study, which itself evaluated ways to enhance the range, payload, and bring-back capability of the existing F/A-18 Hornet. Through a series of trade-offs imposed by largely limited defense funds, what emerged was a versatile, affordable strike fighter aircraft that has served the Navy well since its fleet introduction in 2002.
The Growler has a similar history. Itself an offshoot of the Super Hornet program, the EA-18G brought many of the Super Hornet's attributes - speed, maneuverability, self-defense capability, and advanced systems - into the electronic attack community and is now posed to assume all such missions from the venerable EA-6B Prowler within the next few years.

This book draws on interviews with many of the key players in the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G program and on many press reports of the day to tell the story of how these aircraft were designed, developed, and deployed.

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet Manual (1978 onwards) - An insight into the design, construction and operation (Haynes Aircraft Manual)

Supported by more than 270 photographs and technical illustrations, the Haynes McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet Manual lifts the panels on the most sophisticated fleet defender of all time to review its design, construction and operation, including revealing personal insights by US Navy and Royal Canadian Air Force personnel of flying and maintaining the mighty Hornet/Super Hornet.

The US-designed and built McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet carrier-borne, multi-role fighter is one of the most important Fourth Generation fighters in the world. Its twin-engine, twin-tails (canted outwards) and leading edge root extensions make it one of the most recognisable fighters in operation. The latest version is the enlarged Super Hornet.

Boeing Hornet Squadrons : The Legacy Series

The Boeing Hornet is a twin-engined multi-role supersonic jet fighter of the third generation. Derived from the Northrop YF-17 lightweight fighter concept, its twin-engine reliability, option to carry greater payloads and rugged ability to operate from bare base conditions as well as aircraft carriers made it an ideal choice for both US Navy and US Marine Corps looking to replace their second-generation fighter and attack types.
Although the design has been around for over forty years, upgrades have kept the aircraft at the forefront of military thinking.

This fascinating pictorial history explores the early derivatives of the fighter and its many users. It has been involved in all recent conflicts as the United States seeks to project power and will continue to do so for many years to come.

F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler - The US Navy's Primary Fighter/Attack Aircraft (Legends of Warfare)

El Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet es una versión mejorada del McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A/B Hornet. El Hornet original, que voló por primera vez en 1980, fue desarrollado como un caza multifunción para apoyar al Grumman F-14 Tomcat, más grande y más caro, en funciones de defensa de la flota y superioridad aérea. Si bien era eficaz, tenía un alcance de combate limitado debido a la capacidad de combustible.
El F/A-18 Super Hornet, de mayor tamaño, abordó este problema y ahora es el principal avión de combate y ataque de la flota de portaaviones de la Armada de los EE. UU., reemplazando tanto al Hornet heredado como al F-14 Tomcat. Su fuselaje también sirvió como base para el EA-18G Growler, que reemplazó al EA-6B Prowler en operaciones de guerra electrónica.

Este libro describe la historia, la construcción y el despliegue de ambos tipos de aeronaves.

The F/A-18 began as a less expensive complement to the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and Grumman A-6 Intruder, and was a replacement for the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II and LTV A-7 Corsair II.
The Hornet evolved into a capable multi-mission strike fighter, performing fighter, suppression of enemy air defense, and light attack missions.
This volume features a number of high-quality images that highlight the aircraft throughout its Navy and Marine Corps career.

The F/A-18 Hornet Story

The F/A-18 evolved from Northrop's YF-17 in the late 1970s. Production aircraft reached the Navy in May 1980 and the Marine Corps two years later. More than 800 examples would eventually be built for US service, with a further 500 aircraft sold to seven export customers.
Earning its battle spurs in April 1986 flying strike missions against Libya, the Hornet would subsequently participate in Operation Desert Storm and the various 'policing' operations in Iraq and the Balkans that followed. The 'legacy' Hornet is still very much in frontline use with the US Navy and Marine Corps today.
Tony Holmes, author of "The F-14 Tomcat Story", has once again collected the most spectacular images to complement the history of this star of carrier-based naval aviation.
