This book explores the role of the US Navy Hornet units in the northern Iraqi campaign, the first Navy Reserve unit to be mobilized since the Korean War.Their attacks were launched from carriers off the coast of Turkey. The conflict for these squadrons was very different from the campaign fought in southern Iraq: they worked almost exclusively with clandestine Special Forces teams from the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy SEALs, British and Australian SAS and Kurdish guerrillas.First-hand accounts accompany the indispensable role these units had in the battle to liberate Iraq.
