Description
By Ken Neubeck.
The E-2 Hawkeye is the first U.S. Navy carrier-based aircraft
designed specifically to fill the all-weather airborne early
warning mission. The E-2 is a twin-engine aircraft with antennae
contained inside a 24-foot rotating dorsal dome. E-2Cs provided
surveillance support during joint strike attacks against targets
in Libya in 1986, and during Operation Desert Storm, the aircraft
provided command and control support for carrier-based fighter
aircraft. The Hawkeye provided similar support during the recent
conflicts in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. In addition to war
service, the versatile aircraft has been used by the US Coast
Guard for patrolling the coastal areas as well as by law
enforcement agencies for drug traffic interdiction. Takes a
detailed look at the E-2 Hawkeye with more than 200 photographs,
color profiles, and detailed line drawings; 80 pages.
