Operation Allied Force Volumes 1-2 (PDF Edition)

Exclusive Deal: 30% Off

This two-volume set provides one of the most detailed studies available of NATO’s 1999 air campaign against Serbia, the last major war fought in Europe during the 20th century. Lasting 78 days, Operation Allied Force was an unusual conflict fought simultaneously through diplomacy, media pressure, cyber activity, air strikes, and a ground war in Kosovo—ending with the withdrawal of Serbian forces from the province.

Volume 1 delivers a detailed reconstruction of NATO’s aerial campaign, including operations by stealth aircraft such as the F-117A and B-2A, and the only combat loss of an F-117A. It also examines Serbian Air Force and Air Defence operations, with particular focus on the MiG-29 force and surface-to-air missile units as they attempted to counter NATO strike packages.

Volume 2 provides in-depth analysis of both sides’ command structures, tactics and operational experience, including key “firsts” such as JDAM, JSOW, graphite bombs, evolving SEAD tactics, and Serbian air-defence methods based on mobility and improvisation. It also assesses aircraft losses, damage, and casualties using original comparative research.

Based on unique access to both Serbian and NATO/USAF material, and richly illustrated in full colour with photographs, diagrams and custom artwork, this bundle is an essential reference on modern air warfare over the Balkans.
