From the Author
The softback represents an updated edition...
...of the highly successful hardback which preceded it by eighteen months. My co-author Peter E Davies and I did manage to cram in some new goodies of particular interest to RAF fans and US squadron researchers. A labour of love that embroiled this author in nine months' full-time research - apologies to my wife and daughter!

The best book on the greatest plane ever.
11 July 2001
Format:Paperback
Okay, so I'm biased. I used to love to look at these big, ugly, loud beasts as they tore into the sky using nothing but sheer power. 5000 of them were built over the years, and a design that originated in the 1950s is still being used as a front-line fighter in some countries. This book is exhaustively detailed and packed full of photos, covering all aspects of the Phantoms illustrious career. I do not have the updated edition, but the one I have is very detailed, so I have no fears that the new edition can only include more detail.
(MALS-41, supporting VMFA-112 F-4S Phantoms, USMC 1988-1992)

A Good Read BUT No Colour Pictures!!
4 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This a good and comprehensive study of the greatest fighter jets of all time. It covers every detail from the birth of this jet to the end of its production. The only complaint I have on this book is the lack of colour pictures and the not so good quality b/w pictures. I hope this can be revised in future editions.
Great book about a great plane

For those of us fortunate enough to have flown this aircraft, this is a great book about the planes story. Great pictures and history.
