In January 2015 will be published the first volume of the series "Libyan Air Wars" which I am the co-author with Tom Cooper and Albert Grandolini. This publication has been postponed several times, but this time, it's good! This series of three books of 80 pages mention all the conflicts which the Libyan air force was involved: the Libyan-Egyptian War in 1977, the Chadian civil war against Chad and France from 1968 to 1987 and of course, the dogfights of the F-14 Tomcat in the Gulf of Sidra in 1981, 1986 and 1989. on this occasion, I created the Facebook page Libyan Air Wars which I will regularly post information including photos, videos, documents.

Le Golfe de Syrte : accrochages et combats aériens
Le Golfe de Syrte est bien connu pour les combats aériens Américano-Libyens qui ont eu lieu en 1981 et 1989 et qui ont vu deux Su-22 "Fitter" et deux Mig-23 "Flogger" abattu par les F-14A "Tomcat". A ces "dogfight", il faut ajouter les incidents de 1986 au cours desquels plusieurs patrouilleurs Libyens ont été coulés par les A-6E "Intruder" et A-7E "Corsair II". Mais ces incidents ne sont pas isolés. D'autres accrochages ont eu lieu pendant cette vingtaine d'années de tension.
