F-4 w/AIM-9 and bombs carriage question by
Guy Alcala
I've been looking through Shlomo Aloni's Osprey book on
Israeli F-4 Phantom aces, and I note that around the time of
the '73 war when they want to carry AIM-9s, they either

Russian Fighter Book by
Charles Talleyrand
Can someone suggest a nice book on Russian fighters and maybe bombers?
I'm looking for lots of technical detail. Best would be discussions on
why they made the design decisions they chose.

RPG-Man MPEG Launcher Footage -Closer Examination-Interesting by
McNeil
http://w3.kill-9.com/rpg-man.mpg
There is an mpeg file circulating around the net, showing a guy aiming
a rocket launcher at ???
and I was curious if anybody else sees the same things that I do.
