This book covers the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 A, C and D variants. The Super Hornet E/F came after this book was published in 1991. The cutaway drawing and the specifications are the C version. The narrative flows easily with the history, color photos, explanations of design innovations such as the HUD (Heads Up Display) and operational history. The Hornet saw action in Libya (1986) and the Iraq Gulf War (1991). This short book, only 45 pages with index, should satisfy most readers.
