Bloomsbury presents American MiG Pilot: Inside the Top Secret USAF "Red Eagles" MiG Squadron, written and read by Rob "Z-Man" Zettel, Lt Col. USAF (Ret.)

Get inside the head of one of America's most experienced MiG pilots as he tells the thrilling tale of the top-secret US operation that wouldn't feel out of place in 'Top Gun'.

After finding themselves outflown over Vietnam, the American military launched top-secret Operation Constant Peg, using illicitly obtained Russian Fighters pitted against star US fighter pilots in simulated combat exercises. With controls labelled in Russian and the only spare parts being the ones they could salvage, the pilots who climbed into the MiGs – the Red Eagles – accepted all of the risks associated with operating these aircraft.

This book describes what it was like to be there day in and day out at one of the most access-restricted airfields in the entire USAF, flying MiGs alongside some of the very best fighter pilots hand-picked from the ranks of the USAF, US Navy and US Marine Corps. Rob “Z-Man” Zettel tells the Red Eagles story for the first time through the experiences of a pilot who flew these aircraft to their maximum performance in simulated combat engagements, often several times a day, against frontline fighter pilots of the three US sister services.

Vivid accounts of training engagements put the reader right in the cockpit, while historical photographs help paint the picture of an operation that took the US Air Force from its disappointing performance in the Vietnam War to unprecedented success in Operation Desert Storm.©2026 Rob Zettel (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC 20th Century Air Forces Armed Forces Military Military & War Modern Russia Havacılık ABD Hava Kuvvetleri

Eleştirmen yorumları

Life in the 'Red Eagles' was unique. Imagine a group of young captains, a few majors and lieutenant commanders, and a couple of lieutenant colonels, living and working in secrecy, flying airplanes no one admitted we had. The stories practically write themselves. Rob 'Z-Man' Zettel has brilliantly captured the spirit, challenges, and camaraderie of life in our secret MiG squadron.
This is a thoroughly good read, being as it is well-written, entertaining and full of insight.
Informative, entertaining and well-written, it’s an excellent insider view of this remarkable unit.
