World's Fastest Single-Engine Jet A/C: The Story of Convair's F-106 Delta Dart Interceptor Hardcover - 2017
by Col Doug Barbier
From the rear cover
The F-106 was developed for the U.S. Air Force as a next-generation interceptor following Convair's pioneering delta-wing F-102, and excelled in every aspect of the Air Defense Command mission. With its advanced Hughes radar system, Falcon air-to-air missiles, and top speed well in excess of Mach 2, the Delta Dart became known as "the ultimate interceptor," able to scramble, launch, find its targets, and blow them out of the sky in short order. This sixth member of the "Century Series" family of supersonic fighters established a World Absolute Speed Record of 1,525 mph, and could outrun any other single-engine jet.
Written by a former USAF Command Pilot, this book not only tells the dramatic story of this incredible aircraft, it puts you right into the cockpit intercepting bogies in the Stratosphere at Mach 2 during the peak years of the Cold War.
