Featuring the most successful USAF fighter pilot in Vietnam.

PHANTOM FURY
By Robert Taylor

Steve Ritchie, first into action, flies his lead F-4D Phantom through a hail of deadly enemy flak as he exits the target area after a typical FAST FAC mission on enemy installations in North Vietnam, 1972. Behind him a vast trail of devastation marks the mission’s progress, as his fellow Phantom crews continue to wreak havoc with their heavy ordnance, the target area exploding in a series of mighty detonations. 

The biggest, fastest, most powerful fighter of its day, the McDonnell Phantom was an awesome war machine that came to dominate aerial combat for over two decades. It may have been the size of many World War II bombers but it could out-perform anything that crossed its path; The F-4 Phantom was the benchmark against which every fighter in the world came to be judged; it was simply the best.

One of US Air Force pilot itching to take the Phantom into combat was a young, then Captain, Steve Ritchie.  Flying with the 555th Tactical Fighter Squadron, the illustrious “Triple Nickel,” Ritchie would, in the space of a few weeks during Operation Linebacker in the summer of 1972 become a legend – the only USAF fighter pilot Ace of the Vietnam War.
