aircraft monographs are self-contained 20-page A4 size
booklets containing 1/72 scale multi-view plans, colour artwork,
Sketches, large photographs and narrative (including
technical data)—everything the modeller needs to know to
check the accuracy of plastic kits or scratch-build his own
replicas from wood or plastic. A special, additional wrap-
around inside cover gives a brief outline history of the subject
aircraft in French and German plus translations of the photo
captions and drawing annotations in those same two languages.
The series includes:

engine and intended to replace the Northrop F-SE Tiger II in
the air forces of those nations unable to afford - or barred
from receiving – front-line aireralt like the F-16. The
development aircraft, which first llew on 29 October 1980, is a
modified pre-series F-16B, and has a revised fixed-ramp inlet
and other major modifications to allow for the longer J79.
SPECIFICATION - F-16A
Writing in Air Force Magazine, published by the US Air
Force Association, Captain Wayne C Edwards, an F-16
instructor pilot with the 16th Tactical/Fighter Training
Squadron at Hill AFB, says: "The F-16 un doubtedly belongs to
a new generation. However, in terms of great fighters, most F-
16 pilots believe that over the long run it will carve out its own
place in the an nals of fighter aviation. I envision it becoming like
the P-51, F-86, or F-100 of previous generations – very prolific,
well utilized because of its tremendous capabilities, and highly
respected by the pilots lucky enough to fly it. There is, in my mind,
simply no other airplane in the world today I would rather take into
combat if it became necessary ... This is the airplane I
want to be teamed up with for the rest of my llying days."
Essentially similar to the single-seat F-16A multi purpose fighter
except for the aft cockpit is the two-seat F-16B lighter/trainer.
The B model carries about 1,100 fewer pounds (499 fewer
kg) of internal fuel but still sur passes earlier lighters in
agility, range and endurance.
Scheduled to be available for delivery from 1983 is the F-
16/79, a private venture intermediate export fighter
