Inhaltsangabe

Until now, there has never been a comprehensive number-by-number encyclopedic directory of every single U.S. guided missile system ever built. This book covers the exotic winged cruise missiles of the Cold War, the air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons used in Vietnam and Desert Storm, Navy air-defense interceptor missiles, all the ICBMs, plus secret projects and little known types that will intrigue any military history buff. Missiles include the MGM-1 through the MQM-175.

Illustrated with excellent archival and contemporary photography, this book features every single U.S. guided missile, with special coverage of the famous jet-powered winged missiles of the 1950s Cold War. Some entries are presented one-to-a-page while other more well known missiles like the famed Nike series and Atlas ICBMs are covered over several pages with ample photo spreads. This book will serve as the premier reference for anyone interested in any era of U.S. guided missile technology.
