Convair F-102 Delta Dagger Pilot's Flight Operating Manual
The world's first all-weather, supersonic jet interceptor, the F-102 Delta Dagger was built at the height of the Cold War. During the Vietnam conflict however, the F-102 found a new role as a fighter and as an escort for B-52 bombers. The initial mission of the "Deuce," as the F-102 came to be known, was to intercept and destroy incoming Soviet bombers.
24, 1953 and deployed as part of Air Defense Command in 1956. The F-102 debuted on Oct. In 1973, the USAF began converting F-102s into target drones.
They flew in this configuration as late as 1986. Originally printed by Convair and the USAF, this F-102 Flight Operating Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Classified "Restricted," the manual was recently declassified and is here reprinted in book form.
