It could carry a variety of air to air and air to surface missiles and was powered by a single General Electric J79 turbojet that developed 17,900 lb of thrust with afterburner. The Italian Air Force continued to fly it into the 21st Century.This book contains the world famous colour profiles created by Dave Windle of the type in different operational modes, configurations and colour schemes.
