Description
INTRODUCTION
The modern fighter pilot's mount is a marvel of engineering, evolved in less than fifty years from a simple wooden fabric - covered structure, hardly able to carry the additional weight of a machine gun and ammunition, into a present - day weapon of astonishing complexity and performance.
