Developed to meet the demands of the Cold War scenario, the AMX programme, co-developed by Italy and Brazil, resulted in one of the world's most capable fighter-bombers. This book covers the entire AMX story, from the origins of the programme to its daily operations.
Italy began work on a new fighter-bomber in the late 1970s, aiming to field an aircraft capable of surviving in heavily defended Cold War airspace, flying at very low level, and releasing its weapons deep in enemy territory with a high degree of accuracy. In the early 1980s, Brazil joined the program, resulting in the AMX.
