Media reviews

"As with all of the books in this series, there are several pages of full color profiles, the sort of thing that modelers love to see. In the back is an appendix of all the units that participated along with their disposition and aircraft lost. In all, it makes for another great F-4 book that no Phantom Phanatic should be without. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed."
--Scott Van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com (January 2013)

"This is a story long-time coming, and what better publisher or author to tell it. A few books on Marine Corps Phantoms have appeared but not with the depth and detail of this one, not to mention what has to be one of the most stunning covers in the entire Osprey lineup."
--CDR Peter Mersky, USN (Ret.), Wings of Gold (Spring 2013)

"Provides a survey of the missions and achievements of the F-4 Phantom II units of Vietnam, and is a pick for any military collection strong in aviation history or Vietnam War units in particular. This coverage considers the F-4's performance in missions and uses the experience of aircrew who flew them to add to the comprehensive history of the craft. Pages packed with color and black and white photos enhance documentation of major battles and interactions between officers and pilots. The result is a vivid recreation of the F-4's achievements, perfect for any military aviation or Vietnam War history collection!"
- The Midwest Book Review (April 2013)

"This is a story long time coming, and what better publisher or author to tell it. A few books on
Marine Corps Phantoms have appeared but not with the depth and detail, not to mention what
has to be one of the most stunning covers in the entire Osprey lineup ... This latest addition to Osprey’s Combat Aircraft series (no. 94) is arguably one of the best."
- Peter Mersky, MCAA Journal (May 2013)

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2012. New book, 96 pages, COM94. Twenty-five US Marine Corps squadrons flew versions of the Phantom II and 11 of them used the aircraft in South-East Asia from May 1965 through to early 1973. Rather than the air-to-air missiles that were the main component in the original F-4 armament, these aircraft carried an ever-expanding range of weaponry. Some toted 24,500-lb bombs and others strafed with up to three 20 mm gun pods, while most flew daily sorties delivering napalm, Snakeye bombs and big Zuni rockets. Many US Marines holding small outpost positions in Laos and South Vietnam against heavy Viet Cong attack owed their lives to the Phantom II pilots who repeatedly drove off the enemy. The book will examine these missions in the context of US Marine Corps close-support doctrine, using the direct experience of a selection of the aircrew who flew and organised those missions. . Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Laurier, Jim. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
