Description

The F-4 Phantom: A Long-Range Fighter. Developed for the US Navy as a long-range all-weather fighter, the F-4 Phantom first flew in May 1958 and entered service in 1961. Its capabilities soon caught the attention of other air forces around the world, leading to a significant number of overseas orders. The Phantom played a notable role in several conflicts, including the Vietnam War and operations in the Middle East. One of its variants set a record for the fastest Atlantic crossing, which stood until surpassed by another aircraft. Although it is no longer used as a front-line combat warplane, the F-4 remains operational with some air forces. This book provides an in-depth look at the development, service history, and significance of the F-4 Phantom.
