The postwar years saw a \nrevolution in aviation technology and design, particularly in the fields of \nmissile development and electronic warfare, and these conflicts saw some of the \nmost modern technology that the NATO and Warsaw Pact forces deployed, alongside \nsome relatively obscure aircraft types such as the Westland Wyvern and the \nFolland Gnat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"BOX-SIZING: border-box; FONT-SIZE: 15px; FONT-FAMILY: TiemposText; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(59,63,84); FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"BOX-SIZING: border-box; FONT-SIZE: 15px; FONT-FAMILY: TiemposText; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(59,63,84); FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: 15px; FONT-FAMILY: TiemposText; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FLOAT: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(59,63,84); FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; DISPLAY: inline !important; LETTER-SPACING: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003eHighly \nillustrated, with over 240 images and maps,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci style=\"BOX-SIZING: border-box; FONT-SIZE: 15px; FONT-FAMILY: TiemposText; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(59,63,84); TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003eFlashpoints\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: 15px; FONT-FAMILY: TiemposText; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FLOAT: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(59,63,84); FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; DISPLAY: inline !important; LETTER-SPACING: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003eis \nan authoritative account of the most important air wars of the Cold \nWar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Other","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58145039810863,"sku":"2274212100000","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9272\/5551\/files\/Flashpoints.jpg?v=1787086251","url":"https:\/\/shop.eaa.org\/products\/bk-flashpoints","provider":"Shop EAA Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
