Product Description
Book Description
This addition to the Aerofax series describes all the variants, including the so-called "Bombcat" attack version and the extremely capable F-14D. It covers color schemes, squadrons and markings, and aircraft production details. Lavishly illustrated, it includes close-up details of cockpits and weaponry, giving modelers and enthusiasts superb access to one of the classic jet fighters of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Slightly dated but very useful,
By A Reader (Salt Lake City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat: Leading US Navy Fleet Flighter (Paperback)
I agree with another reviewer that a book of 88 pages is insufficient to do this airplane justice. But given that was all the publisher seems to have given the author, I think Jenkins did a remarkable job of telling the story. Perhaps now that the Tomcat is being phased out of service the publisher will allow a larger, more complete, book to be written.This book is half-a-dozen years old and just barely touches on the "bombcat" version since it was just being fielded at the time. But otherwise, it goes into sufficient detail on the technology, variants, and history of the airplane to satisfy most anybody. It makes a good addition to any library.

A bit dated, but a good overview,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat: Leading US Navy Fleet Flighter (Paperback)
This is your typical Aerofax book, with lots of good details on the history of the Tomcat and many photos showing almost every detail of the airplane. It is a bit light on the operational history, and is also a bit out of date. Nevertheless, it is a bargain for the money. Highly recommended!

A Concise History of the Tomcat,
This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat: Leading US Navy Fleet Flighter (Paperback)
Granted the book is limited in its scope since it is only 88 pages long but ,typical of the Aerofax books in general, a lot of information is presented in a readable fashion. There are many photos tracing the aircraft's development and service history. Detail shots are provided in abundance, although perhaps not enough to actually build an F-14 for yourself. Overall this is an excellant book on the Tomcat that provides sufficient information for most enthusiasts.
