(More customer reviews)Jamie Hunter (with the photographic help of Katsuhiko Tokunaga) has created a book which depicts the final in-service appearances of the F-4 Phantom II. While this is primarily a picture book the captions and interviews with Phantom pilots provides enough "background color" to go with the stunning color photos which abound in this must have book for Phantom fans. Air forces covered here are: USAF, Luftwaffe, Greece, Japan, Egypt, Korea, Iran and Turkey. While the layout of the photos is a little chaotic this is more than made up for with the quality of the color reproductions and the variety of angles from which this supremely photogenic airplane has been shot. If you have any interest at all in the F-4 make sure of your copy of this beautiful book - you won't be disappointed.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II remains one of the most popular and charismatic fighter aircraft in the world today. Though its long and distinguished service career is almost over, the type remains operational in modest numbers and in various roles at air forces around the world. This book takes the reader to the last operational locations of the F-4 for a look at its current activities. With a particular emphasis on recent air-to-air images of the remaining operational Phantoms shot by the joint authors, Katsuhiko Tokunaga and Jamie Hunter, the book also includes interviews with and information about the pilots and those still associated with the popular type. It will take the reader behind the scenes of the last Phantom squadrons and into their ops rooms. It is now almost exactly 50 years since the first F-4 Phantom flew. With the type now entering the twilight of its career in active service, interest in an already highly regarded aircraft has grown significantly.
