The F-4 Phantom was developed
for the U.S. Navy as a long-range all-weather fighter and first flew in May
1958. It became operational in 1961. The U.S. Air Force then realized that the
Navy had an aircraft that was far better than any tactical aircraft in their
inventory and ordered 543 F-4C variants.
There then followed a spate of overseas orders from around the world. In
Britain, it was ordered for the Navy and Air Force, but was modified to take
the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan.
One of the Naval Phantoms stole the record for the fastest Atlantic crossing, a
record that stood until taken by the remarkable Blackbird.
Phantoms have been used in combat in many conflicts throughout its long service
history. It was one of America's most utilized aircraft during the long Vietnam
War and has flown in anger in the Middle East for several air forces.
The F-4 was operational with several air forces. It had a long and successful
period as a front-line combat warplane. Softbound, 7.5x10, 98 pages, 150+
b&w and color photos.
