4.0 out of 5 stars
Very interesting for an old book...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat (Paperback)
This book was published just as the F-14 was coming into service. for being a new, and supposedly "sensitive" design, the author has included a large amount of data which I thought would have been considered Top Secret. The book goes into very technical detail about various systems on the (new) F-14A Tomcat. The weapons system and radar, the heart and soul of the F-14, are covered in great depth. In fact, most systems are covered in a good amount of detail. Of interest is the analytical comparisons of the F-14 to other contemporary aircraft. This section alone makes the price worthwhile. The only system which is brushed over is the problems with the finicky and tempermental TF-30 engines which have plagued the F-14 through it's entire career. If you are a Tomcat buff, then this is a MUST HAVE in your library!

A Vital asset to any F-14 or USN Aircraft Buff,

This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat (Paperback)
As the previous reviewer noted, the book was published in 1975 and the F-14 was still in infancy. The information presented is pretty sensitivity as it is very hard to find the actual performance data on this aircraft even though the F-14 is 30 years old! Lots of money were spent on that swing wing design. The book continues on about the inner workings of the F-14A and a little about the F-14B with the proposed engines. Excellent reference book.

A trip back to 1975!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat (Paperback)
This book was published in 1975. At the time, the F-14 is brand new, just reaching the fleet and it is without a doubt the most advanced fighter ever created. All of the Tomcat's advantages over its predecessor (the F-4J) and its Soviet adversaries (MiG-23, -21, -19, at the time) are explained in detail including the bubble canopy, weapons system, and untouched maneuverability. All of the aircraft systems are explained in detail with extra emphasis placed on the functioning of the AWG-9 radar. Though the book is very old, it contains information not found in other books. It's a great old book if you can find it!
