Since the limited Desert Fox campaign against Iraq in December 1998, the Tomcat has been integral to virtually all combat operations involving the US Navy in the Arabian Gulf. Indeed, on every carrier deployment to the Persian Gulf since Desert Fox, the F-14 unit(s) on station has ventured into ‘The Sand Box’ over southern Iraq and prosecuted targets operating in contravention to United Nations security council resolutions. This book covers the F-14 Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-present) actions against battlefield targets and integrated air defence sites, command and control centres, regime leadership targets and military installations in Baghdad, Tikrit, Mosul and Kirkuk.

Great book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: US Navy F-14 Tomcat Units of Operation Iraqi Freedom (Combat Aircraft) (Paperback)
Yet again Osprey have produced a conscise but excellent history cataloging the use of the F-14 units over Irag.
Good pictures and profiles. The book also draws heavily on first person accounts from the pilots who flew the missions. Highly recommended.
