Wings Over Afghanistan
|
|
In the wake of the September 11th, American
forces launched into a campaign that combined covert action, diplomatic
sleight-of-hand, deadly accurate new weapons and sheer brute force in a way
the world has never seen.
The war on terror came as a surprise to no one. But the collapse of the
Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies in Afghanistan came more swiftly than
anyone imagined.
Gain insight into how the first phase of the "war on terror" was fought.
From pilots in action to Special Forces teams deep into hostile territory,
you'll learn of the traditional power and the high-tech new technologies
that pinpointed enemy positions for destruction. The secretive array of
weaponry used over Afghanistan was astonishing, from the "Daisy Cutter" – a
monstrous 15,000-pound fuel air bomb used to devastate terrorist cave
complexes to the "Spooky" AC-130 Gunship that squashed the POW uprising at
Mazar-e'-Sharif.
Fly into action with the men, women and fighting machines that waged this
first battle against this horrid hatred.
