Pilots from air forces across Europe and the United States discuss the skills they need to be effective in these flying environments, including the challenges of flying fast and low over snow, the sea, or through mountain ranges at night. Commanders with years of low-level flying experience share their most memorable sorties. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 192 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 November 2018\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fonthill Media\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow-level flying in military aircraft at speeds of up to 500 mph and as low as 100 feet above the ground poses a significant challenge for both the pilot and the photographer attempting to capture the action. This dual-purpose book serves as a comprehensive exploration of military low-flying, delving into the skills, reasons, and dangers from the pilot's perspective. The author also shares the challenges faced in capturing these images, ranging from mountainous terrains and desert canyons to the cockpits of air-to-air aircraft. Pilots provide insights into their training, mission planning, systems, and the aircraft they cherish, including iconic models such as the A-7 Corsairs, F-4 Phantoms, Tornados, Typhoons, F-15 Eagles, and Gripen. They discuss the purpose of flying low, whether it's to deliver weapons or gather data, and the tactics employed to evade radar. Pilots from air forces across Europe and the United States share their experiences and discuss the skills required to excel in extremely dangerous flying environments. They address the challenges posed by flying fast and low over snow, the sea, or through mountain ranges at night. Commanders with extensive low-level flying experience offer fascinating anecdotes and insights into their most memorable sorties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 470g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 227 x 9 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781781557372\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philip Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097112637690,"sku":"9781781557372","price":17.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c202fc332f743d2e68290f667ea2abcf.jpg?v=1626669552","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/thunder-through-the-valleys-low-level-flying-low-level-photography","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
