The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable sweep wing, two-place fighter designed to attack and destroy enemy aircraft at night and in all weather conditions. The F-14 can track up to 24 targets simultaneously with its advanced weapons control system and attack six with Phoenix AIM-54A missiles while continuing to scan the airspace. Armament also includes a mix of other air intercept missiles, rockets, and bombs. The Grumman F-14 Tomcat has retired after over 30 years of service. It was the final member of a family of Grumman cats which began almost seventy years ago. This book presents a personal narrative of the testing and operational use of the Tomcat. More than 150 colour photographs, colour paintings, and colour profiles; 64 pages.
