This is the definitive, updated and extensively illustrated history of the McDonnell Douglass F-4 Phantom, the powerful, rugged, immensely successful fighter aircraft that dominated Western skies for over 30 years. The unique twin crew, twin engine F-4 was originally intended as an all-purpose US Navy missile-armed fighter, a role it fulfilled perfectly.
'The Phantom Story' covers all naval and land-based variants, beginning with the design origins and the type and tracking the story through to its later roles in electronic warfare and SAM suppression. Appendices cover all Phantom serial codes, MiG killers and a remarkable history for every operating unit. The book includes illustrations for every period of the F-4's service.
