Designed for carrier operations to protect the fleet from incoming hostile aeroplanes, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat is regarded as one of the finest air superiority fighters in the world. Fast, manoeuvrable and well armed, it is capable of flying at over Mach 2, its swing wing enabling it to operate safely from carrier decks. This book tells the story of this aeroplane from the design, development and operational life of the F-14, to the political gameplay that surrounded its beginnings.

Tomcat Revealed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat (Crowood Aviation Series) (Hardcover)
This book does a great job on exploring the introduction of the Tomcat, and it's origins. It goes into depth about the techinical capablities and specificiations of the book. The author continues to give great details about the program and it's construction. The only bad part is that it's 200 pages long and 50 bucks. Over all, it's a great book to read if your an avid Tomcat fan like I am.

This review is from: Grumman F-14 Tomcat (Crowood Aviation Series) (Hardcover)
Mr. Baker finally has created something what I am looking for! And that's someting very explicit about the F-14. He goes indepth with the history of the F-14 and how it was designed, tested and production. He even gives descriptions of the USN squadrons that have used the F-14. The books explains mostly about the Alpha model but the B model is also given. It lacks some information about the latest D model though. If you are F-14 buff this book is worth every penny in gold. Don't be intimidated by the 200pages.
