A look back at the jet fighter’s thirty-five years of service with the US Navy, featuring hundreds of photos as well as stories from pilots.
For thirty-five years of active naval service, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat was the foremost air superiority fighter of the Cold War, with continuing service as a fighter-bomber in the Gulf Wars. Two hundred thousand sailors, both pilots and “ground” crew, served in F-14 squadrons with the Tomcat over its decades of flight.
This book is a grand remembrance of this great aircraft by those who flew it. Hundreds of pilots have included their favorite stories of the missions and planes that brought them home. Two hundred exceptional color photographs show the F-14 on the deck, in the air, and over the sea.
