From the skies of Vietnam, to the chaos over Egypt in the Yom Kippur War, to the attrition of the Iran-Iraq conflict-Con Én Bạc captures the raw tension, split-second decisions, and chaotic ballet of jet-age air combat.
Based on real transcripts, memoirs, and air engagement records, this novel follows pilots on both sides of the divide through a character-driven story of speed, firepower, and survival.
For readers of military aviation, Cold War history, and immersive war fiction-this is the story of the MiG-21 and the F-4 Phantom II, two rival machines that met more often in battle than any others in history.
