Historical Overview of the F-5E Tiger II Aircraft

The Northrop F-5E Tiger II fighter is an American light, supersonic jet designed and produced by Northrop since the early 1970s. It was widely used by the United States Air Force and numerous allied air forces during the Cold War era and remains in service today. The F-5E participated in conflicts in Southeast Asia (Vietnam War, in service since 1972), Central America, and the Middle East.
