Product Description
This new study of the sea-going Phantoms includes contributions from over a hundred aircrew and maintainers who were involved in the Phantoms success from the earliest service development flying to its twilight years in the Reserve units. There are personal accounts of MiG battles from more than a dozen MiG killers, first-hand descriptions of the F-4s introduction into combat with the Marines as a CAS and reconnaissance aircraft, memories of Bear intercepts on Mediterranean cruises, narratives covering the aircrafts service into the 1980s, and much more. These voices are blended with a detailed technical and developmental description of the aircraft, supported by comprehensive appendices and over 450 photos in color and black and white.

A Fascinating Read June 14, 2000
Ben Backes (Wichita, KS)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The entire focus of this book is the personal experiences of flight crews who flew the Phantom. I find it a refreshing break from the typical aviation book laden with boring and dry technical jargon. The personal anecdotes of how this awesome aircraft started out as a fleet defense fighter and was eventually used as almost everything else is much more interesting.
