The author - Steve Davies - writes:
"This book represents the combined efforts of a large number of individuals who graciously gave their time and expertise to my research. I am privileged to have received the backing of the United States Air Force, and am humbled by the overwhelmingly positive and constructive response to this project by many of those within the Strike Eagle community, past and present. Given recent and ongoing terrorist actions around the world, many of those who guided the author through the complexities of this wonderful aeroplane requested that they be referred to by call sign only; others sought complete anonymity. I have striven to provide the reader with the first real insight into the F-15E Strike Eagle, and to give credence to the accolade so often bestowed upon its the most capable multi-role fighter in the world."
