Book Description
The Northrop F-5 series is one of the longest-serving fighters in the world. The Freedom Fighter was the first 'lightweight fighter" and the first international fighter serving in air forces throughout the free world. The F-5 Tiger II is even more prolific and is still in service with USAF and US Navy aggressor squadrons. The T-38 Talon was derived from the original NF-156 design that produced the Freedom Fighter. The T-38 has trained over 70,000 USAF pilots and is still in service 60 years after its first flight. It is still used by NASA and others. This book contains dozens of very high resolution color photos from the remarkable collection of Gerrit Kok as well as official DOD photos. It covers all the air forces that flew the F-5 series.

Book Description
Although it was originally intended to provide the USAF with a lightweight fighter, in the end the Northrop F-5 had rather a marginal career in the United States, which used it mainly for training pilots in aerial combat. On the other hand it was a real success in the export market, with more than twenty countries around the world choosing this little effective twin-engined fighter which above all was cheap, particularly when it was partly subsidized by the United States. Its success continued with the improved version, the Tiger II, so much so that in all more than 2600 examples of all versions of the F-5 came of the production lines with a few of them still flying nowadays in some air forces, thanks to the various update programs which have permitted air forces to envisage prolonging their use until 2015-20.
