VOODOO WARRIORS The Story of the McDonnell Voodoo Fast-Jets NIGEL WALPOLE PEN & SWORD AVIATION, BARNSLEY 2007 1st edition. 25 x 18 cm. 304 pp + colour profiles. HB/DJ During the mid-1950s the United States Air Force gained its most powerful single-seat, two-engine fighter to date. Before the end of the decade the Voodoo was deployed in the tactical nuclear bomber, tactical reconnaissance roles world-wide and in homeland defence with the two-seat, all-weather variant. In December 1957 it took the World Air Speed Record to Mach 1.6. This book looks at the evolution of the original design and the aircraft's introduction into service, before covering its Cold War commitments Tn the US, Europe and the Pacific, its dramatic operations during the Cuban Crisis and the conflict in Vietnam.
