The "BEST" F-4 Phantom book ever written.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: McDonnell F-4 Phantom: Spirit in the Skies (World Air Power Journal) (Hardcover)
AS we all know, the Phantom went down as the greatest jet fighter in the history of military aviation. Personally I have over 10 books on the Phantom and "Spirit In the Skies" by John Lake is by far the best one yet....This book is worth every penny. This is such a fantastic Phantom book, I would easily pay $100 for it. This is a "must have" for all you Phantom Fanatics out there...!!!!!!

The definitive F-4 Phantom II book...bar none!,
By tubags61 (Winnipeg, MB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McDonnell F-4 Phantom: Spirit in the Skies (Hardcover)
If there is a better book about the F-4 Phantom II, I'd like to see it! I have been a long time fan of the F-4. Spirit In The Skies is the book I have been looking/ waiting for. I just received my copy yesterday (found and bought right here from Amazon.com) and I can't believe how great this book is. It covers every conceivable aspect of the venerable F-4, including but not limited to, variants, weapons, users, production summary by block numbers, as well as tons of combat related stories and achievements. The thing that took me by surprise was the fact that the copy I received was the updated and expanded edition (2002). When I purchased my copy it was based on the older cover (F-4 diving with Col. Robin Olds in the forground) that appears (as of this date)on the Amazon.com site. Suffice it to say it was a fantastic plus that I did not expect, as I had no idea that the updated and expanded version existed. Spirit in the Skies was first published in 1992 as a 232-page book. This updated and expanded 272-page edition includes the editorial work that appeared in the first edition, plus editorial material that first appeared in World Air Power Journal Vol. 40 in 2000, as well as new material prepared specifically for this 2002 release. 40 extra pages! This is a beautiful, BIG book. Glossy pages..., great photos..., tons of info and beautiful technical artwork. If you want to know more about the F-4 Phantom II, or if you are a fan...do NOT let this one pass you by.
