This is the complete story of one of the best loved and greatest fighters ever produced, the F-4 Phantom. Tasked with a host of different missions, the Phantom served many countries and took part in conflicts stretching from the Vietnam War through to the Gulf War. This book carries an authoritative text, running to over 275,000 words, which provides the reader with in-depth analysis of this important cold war warrior. The book, a hardback with a laminated dust jacket, printed on gloss art paper, is packed with two-page colour artworks, cutaways, technical drawings and a staggering array of photos. Every variant of the aircraft, every operator who flew it and every weapon carried by the Phantom, is described in detail. This is a fully revised and expanded edition of a book first published in 1991. That edition was a 232-page volume. Now fully updated, to include the latest worldwide information covering operators and variants, the new edition has been expanded to 272 pages. As the F-4 Phantom enters the twilight years of its illustrious career, this book will come to be regarded as one of the defining works on the aircraft.
