F/A-18 Hornet: Strike Fighter Supreme
This video traces the F/A-18 Hornet’s journey from its origins in the lightweight fighter competition to its emergence as a true multirole aircraft, culminating in its first night of combat during Operation Desert Storm. Sources: In my view, Warbird Tech Volume 31 "Boeing F/A-18 Hornet" is the best single book on the legacy Hornet and also contains helpful material on the Super Aviation Classics 'F/A-18 Hornet' is also excellent, if thinner "Walkaround F/A-18" written by Gregg Davis and Chris Neill, published by Squadron/ Signal is worth picking up for detailed pictures I used about half a dozen other books on the type as well as NATOPS manuals to compile the video
