Inhaltsangabe

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is heralded as the ultimate fifth-generation fighter, merging advanced engineering with multinational collaboration. Developed during a time of military reorganization and technological mergers, it integrates the best features of previous generations into a versatile platform for varied operational roles across military branches.The F-35 is the first fifth-generation multi-service aircraft designed for continuous technological evolution. Despite funding delays and complexities, it remains the largest defense contract in history. Its three variants serve diverse roles: the F-35A for conventional take-off and landing (CTOL), the F-35B for short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL), and the F-35C for carrier operations with Catapult-Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR).Since its inaugural flight on December 15, 2006, the F-35 has demonstrated exceptional capabilities, becoming a cornerstone of air forces worldwide. Designed to maintain air superiority into the 2070s, it represents the pinnacle of stealth and multi-role combat.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ben Skipper, a RAF veteran, is an avid modeler and writer of military themes, specializing in 20th century subjects. Skipper's work has been featured in previous Pen & Sword titles and has, on occasion, won prizes.

His interest in British armor was cemented by a visit to the Kings Royal Hussars in the early 90s as an undergraduate in the Territorial Army. Upon graduation Ben Skipper joined the RAF, where he served for five years, clocking up the air miles in a range of RAF transport aircraft including the VC10 and C17.

It was while serving with the RAF that his first foray into writing occurred, reporting on his experiences of a Kosovo/FYROM tour for an in-service trade magazine. On leaving the RAF, Skipper continued to develop his writing and research skills working within the third sector and NHS researching military and veteran subculture. Some of this work would be used to shape key government veteran policies.
