Firefox

Description

Firefox is the NATO code name for the Russian Mig-31, a warplane capable of speeds beyond 4000 mph, with flawless anti-radar and a thought-controlled weapons system. Intelligence efforts to obtain the plane's specifications have failed and Firefox, the most serious threat since the USSR and China developed nuclear weapons, will soon be flying. To maintain the balance of power a desperate plan is undertaken - steal the plane! Mitchell Gant is the American pilot chosen to steal the fastest, deadliest plane in the world. Gant has problems of his own and is held together only by his enormous ego: he knows that he can do one thing better than any other man on earth - fly a supersonic plane. --Book jacket.
