F-14 Tomcat in Action, Squadron Signal Publications

AIRCRAFT IN ACTION No 28 - ALL COLOR SERIES

The first F-14A rolled out of the Grumman plant in late 1970. The Tomcat became a combat-proven air superiority fighter and continued the U.S. Navy's long tradition of strike fighters. The Tomcat attained speeds greater than Mach 2 with its twin afterburning turbofan engines. The versatile aircraft performed the role of fleet air defense, fighter escort, tactical air reconnaissance and air-to-surface strike fighter. This all-color In Action book is the perfect complement to the author's other book, "Tomcat!" This reissue features four new pages with color photographs and ''On Display'' locations.
