About this title

Synopsis

For thirty-five years of active naval service, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat has served as the foremost air superiority fight of the cold war with continuing service as a fighter-bomber in the Gulf Wars.  It is this service and the two hundred thousand sailors, both pilots and “ground€ crew, who served in F-14 squadrons with the Tomcat over the years.   This book is a grand remembrance of this great aircraft by those flew it. Hundred of pilots have included their favorite stories of the missions and plane that brought them home.  Two hundred exceptional color photographs show the F-14 on the deck, in the air and over the sea.
