The F-101 Voodoo: An Illustrated History of McDonnell's Heavyweight Fighter Conceived in the final days of World War II as an escort for the Convair B-36 bomber, the McDonnell Model 36 "Voodoo" made its first flight in 1948. Over the years, advances in technology led to its transformation into a fighter-bomber with unprecedented firepower: the F-101A Strategic Fighter. The Voodoo played a significant role in several decades of military history, serving as a nuclear strike aircraft, reconnaissance platform, and reliable high-performance interceptor. Its service spanned nearly forty years, from its maiden flight until the late 1980s. This book brings new light to the Voodoo's story, drawing on hundreds of pages of recently declassified documents. A detailed and authoritative history of the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo, this illustrated volume sheds new light on a pivotal aircraft in modern military aviation.
