At the A-7 Corsair II peak in the mid-1980s, some 30 US Navy squadrons flew various versions of the aircraft, including six Naval Air Reserve units, and these many of these units saw action across the Middle East. By the time the jet saw combat in Operation Desert Storm 1991, there remained only two fleet squadrons - many fleet squadrons having either disestablished or transitioned to the F/A 18 Hornet - but both of these units VA-46 and VA-72 played a major role in the campaign to free Kuwait. The book details the technological development and improvements that were introduced to the airframe post-Vietnam, the FLIR targeting pod from 1979 and AGM-88 HARM missile from 1983 being the most important, and how they shaped operational employment of the aircraft.
