Accordingly, that first book on the Hornet was designated ''Part 1'' of our coverage of the F/A-18, and Detail & Scale promised to release a second part on the production variants.In this new volume is the most extensive and detailed look at all four production versions of the F/A-18 Hornet ever published.

The cockpits of each of the four production variants are illustrated with detailed close-up photography, and this includes both the standard and night attack configurations in the rear cockpit of the F/A-18D...
