Download or read book McDonnel F-4 Phantom written by Gerard Paloque and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after the US Navy put the F-4H-1 Phantom II into service in 1960, the US Air Force in turn took an interest in it. After a successful comparison with the best machines of the period, it was decided at the beginning of 1962 to use it as the standard tactical fighter. It was in May 1963 that the first USAF F-4C, overall similar to the Navy version, made its first flight and exceeded Mach 2. Several versions and variants of the twin-engine fighter were produced over almost ten years, taking advantage each time of the progress made in avionics, power plants and armament, with the original “all-missile” concept being eventually put aside in the light of the fighting in South-East Asia in which the aircraft took an active part, in exchange for an on-board weapon which turned out to be very effective both in the aerial combat and ground attack roles. Apart from the USAF and the various units of the Air National Guard, or the United States Reserve which used the 2 600 F-4s up to the middle of the 90s - especially for recce or electronic warfare - the Phantom IIs were also very successful in the export markets since more than 1,200 examples were flown by ten or so countries, especially NATO ones. Some, like Japan, even built them under license in large numbers and many, like Israel and Iran, often used them successfully in combat.

Book Synopsis Engineering the F-4 Phantom II by : Glenn E. Bugos
Download or read book Engineering the F-4 Phantom II written by Glenn E. Bugos and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceived in 1953 in a chickenwire-covered cubicle known as the advanced design cage at McDonnell Aircraft, the F-4 Phantom II fighter-bomber was produced for 25 years, serving a full workload in Vietnam for the Navy, Marines, and Air Force, and surviving through the 1990s in the air arms of eleven nations. While most case studies of modern aircraft focus on the many ways the military-industrial complex goes wrong, this trenchant, invigorating study looks deeper at how those who built the complex intended it to work. Step by step the reader discovers how the relationships among parts, systems, procedures, economies, and missions were shaped by relationships among people - scientists, engineers, testers, program managers, subcontractors, military strategists, pilots and corporate leaders. Drawing on exhaustive research, including interviews with key players, the author makes a major advance in the burgeoning body of literature on technology management by showing how McDonnell worked through the problems of technical integration that plagued defense engineering in the 1960s and 1970s and led to programs full of "complexity". It is as much a study of how aircraft manufacturers and military officers went about their business as it is a life-and-times history of an important aircraft.
Book Synopsis Modelling the F-4 Phantom II by : Geoff Coughlin
Download or read book Modelling the F-4 Phantom II written by Geoff Coughlin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-20 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Phabulous' Phantom first took to the air on 27 May 1958 and has been in service around the world for many decades. The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Iran, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Turkey have all operated this powerful aircraft. The Phantom starred in both the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, and in its service career has flown every traditional military mission. With many F-4 variants in service (from FG.1s to 'Wild Weasels'), and some 25 scale model kits currently available, the possibilities for modelling this subject are endless. There are few guides currently available to the F-4 modeller: this book seeks to redress the imbalance, providing an in-depth and step-by-step approach to modelling this plane across a variety of scales, types, and national schemes.
Book Synopsis From F-4 Phantom to A-10 Warthog by : Steve Ladd
Download or read book From F-4 Phantom to A-10 Warthog written by Steve Ladd and published by Air World. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This behind-the-scenes account of a USAF career is “an absorbing read, written with the classic humor fighter pilots seem to have” (Flight Line Book Review). From Baron von Richthofen to Robin Olds, the mystique of the fighter pilot endures. The skill, cunning, and bravery that characterizes this distinctive band of brothers is well known, but there are other dimensions to those who take to the skies to do battle that have not been given the emphasis they deserve—until now. You don’t have to be an aviation aficionado to enjoy Colonel Steve Ladd’s fascinating personal tale, woven around his twenty-eight-year career as a fighter pilot. This extremely engaging account follows a young man from basic pilot training to senior command through narratives that define a unique ethos. From the United States to Southeast Asia, Europe to the Middle East, the amusing and tongue-in-cheek to the deadly serious and poignant, this is the lifelong journey of a fighter pilot. The anecdotes are absorbing, providing an insight into life as an Air Force pilot, but, in this book, as Colonel Ladd stresses, the focus is not on fireworks or stirring tales of derring-do. Instead, this is an articulate and absorbing account of what life is really like among a rare breed of arrogant, cocky, boisterous, and fun-loving young men who readily transform into steely professionals at the controls of a fighter aircraft. “This book will appeal to a variety of readers with its Vietnam War combat stories and accounts of flying the Warthog in Cold War Europe. Fun, flying, international experiences—you won’t want to put it down.” —Aviation News
Book Synopsis McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II at George Air Force Base, California by : Don Logan
Download or read book McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II at George Air Force Base, California written by Don Logan and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise, illustrated history focuses on the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II aircraft and units assigned to George AFB, California, from 1964-92. George's association with the aircraft began with the arrival of the first F-4s in April 1964, and would last over twenty-eight years. The initial mission was to train F-4 aircrews, and from 1964 through 1973, the majority of these graduates went directly to Southeast Asia in support of the Vietnam War. As the need for newly trained aircrews decreased, the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, and later the 37th TFW, added an operational commitment flying F-4Es and F-4C Wild Weasels, as well as F-4G Advanced Wild Weasel aircraft. The training of aircrews for Germany's Air Force was added to the 35th TFW's mission in December 1972. F-4 operations continued at George under the 35th and 37th wings until inactivation of the 35th Wing in December 1992, and the closing of George AFB at the end of the Cold War.

Download or read book USN McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II written by Peter E. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally designed as a carrier-borne long-range interceptor armed with radar-guided missiles and tasked with defence against missile-launching bombers, the Phantom II went on to establish itself as one of the most important multi-role fighter, attack and reconnaissance aircraft of the 20th century. Arguably the United States' most important aircraft in the Vietnam War, where it played the role of workhorse as well as being a deadly MiG interceptor, the Phantom was also a mainstay of Atlantic Fleet operations ? intercepting Soviet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft and turning them away from the carrier groups at the height of the Cold War. This book reveals the design and development history of the naval Phantom, its variants and the exported designs adopted by other NATO countries. Packed with illustrations, photographs and first-hand accounts, it provides a technical history of one of the most famous aircraft ever built.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sadly I'm not an engineer, nor did I serve with the RAF unfortunately, but I am an enthusiast who began working as a volunteer with a local museum after developing some health issues. I joined Tangmere Military Aviation Museum near Chichester in West Sussex England around seven years ago (November 2012)I began as a guide and then turned my hand to the dark side with the engineering team, something I am familiar with having restored many Land Rovers and Armoured Vehicles in previous work, now I get to play with military aircraft 1:1 ScaleThis publication is my account of our F-4 M Phantom FGR2 XV408 that I began to restore back in March 2015, the book is more reference and more likely to be of use to modellers for some authentic views of the ins and outs of an RAF Phantom II, and of course for any budding enthusiast also embarking on a similar road of restoration, and I might suggest DON'T it will hurt youI use the term restoration which of course really it is not, we might normally refer to restoration as ready to use, but unfortunately our air frames are too far gone, cut about to be moved by road, and pillaged for their instruments perhaps to fill holes in other air frames or to sit on a shelf with a collector, our planes will sadly never move under their own steam let alone fly and will remain on static display onlyTo me, XV408 is more preserved and should be seen by our museums visitors, inside and out where possible, experience what it must be like to work on such a beast back in the height of the Cold WarI have around 2500 images so this really is a shortened version, 'thank heavens' I hear you cry, but the process completed over three plus years includes most of the external sanding and repaint, and around thirteen months of research and re-installation of both cockpits, instruments and seats with some items replicatedSome items are just too difficult to get in any time period either being expensive or simply not available, so some parts have been replicated as authentically as possible, that's where my graphical, modelling and limited engineering skills come in I have also included a few low res images found in the public domain of 408 during her service with the RAF, unfortunately I have not been able to locate all the owners of their images, if they still exist, so first apologies if I have not credited you but do get in contact, a few images have come from Google images and others from the likes of David Gledhill and Bob Daniels via FacebookAnyway, please enjoy or just laugh at my efforts and if you require more images, just let me know via email which is [email protected] you can also find me on Facebook or feel free to visit myself and the museum, part with some hard earnt cash and perhaps get up close and personal with 408thanksPete MacKean
