Haynes McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom Owners Workshop Manual (1958 onwards – all marks): An Insight into Owning, Flying and Maintaining the Legendary Cold War Combat Jet.
First entering service in 1960 with the US military, the F-4 Phantom remained at the forefront of US air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s. It saw extensive action during the Vietnam War as the principal air superiority fighter for both the US Navy and Air Force, as well as in the ground-attack and reconnaissance roles. The F-4J, K and M also played key roles with the RAF and Royal Navy in the same period. Former RAF Phantom navigator Ian Black gives the F-4 the “Haynes Manual” treatment.
