Verlinden Productions Lock On No. 18: Grumman F-14A/B Tomcat,
By Jeremy T. Hanseroth (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lock On No. 18 - Grumman F-14A/B Tomcat (Paperback)
Verlinden's Lock On No. 18 is by far the best reference book I have come across regarding the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Most of the photos were taken aboard the U.S.S. Forrestal and follow the carrier operations of VF-31 "Tomcatters" and VF-11 "The Red Rippers". There are nearly 100 color photographs throughout the book detailing every aspect of this plane from nose to tail, including on-board computer systems, weapons systems, landing gear, powerplants, and several pages alone dedicated to the cockpit interior. If you are in need of reference material for model building or if you just have an interest in navy combat aircraft this would be a great book to have.

This is a great book in a compact size. Lots of great pictures. Great detail for the modeler and a must for the Tomcat fans. Its a small book but is packed with great photos.
