This sixth volume in the Famous Planes: Superplanes collection discusses the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, which was capable of speeds nearing Mach 2 and widely used by NATO forces in the 1970s. The F-16 Fighting Falcon was originally developed for the U.S. Air Force as a lightweight day fighter, but quickly evolved into a successful all-weather, multi-role aircraft, with over 4,400 aircraft built since its introduction in 1976.
