ABOUT
The development of the F-5 family, including its origins as the N-156 and its role as a versatile export fighter used by over 30 nations.

A detailed examination of Northrop’s lightweight fighter lineage, tracing the evolution of the F5 from its origins as an affordable, export focused jet to its refinement into the more advanced F 20 Tigershark.

The author traces the design philosophy behind the F5 simplicity, reliability, and low operating cost, and shows how these qualities made it one of the most widely used fighters outside the United States. Includes specifications, performance data, and design philosophy, especially highlighting the F-20's advanced avionics and engine upgrades.

Illustrated throughout and on end papers with monochrome and colour images and diagrams.
