SynopsisThis concise, illustrated history focuses on the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II aircraft and units assigned to George AFB, California, from 1964-92. George's association with the aircraft began with the arrival of the first F-4s in April 1964, and would last over twenty-eight years. The initial mission was to train F-4 aircrews, and from 1964 through 1973, the majority of these graduates went directly to Southeast Asia in support of the Vietnam War. As the need for newly trained aircrews decreased, the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, and later the 37th TFW, added an operational commitment flying F-4Es and F-4C Wild Weasels, as well as F-4G Advanced Wild Weasel aircraft. The training of aircrews for Germany's Air Force was added to the 35th TFW's mission in December 1972. F-4 operations continued at George under the 35th and 37th wings until inactivation of the 35th Wing in December 1992, and the closing of George AFB at the end of the Cold War.

A good reference book. Not a good read.
This book covers the Phantoms that flew from George in a rather dry factual manner with very little human information about the place that some of us called home for a year or so. There are a lot of excellent color pictures of all the different paint schemes the planes wore but most are from similar angles. There were a few interesting ones that the author took while in flight as the GIB. As a modeler's reference it is great. As a reminder of a place with people who worked and boozed and told stories... some who didn't come home... not so much.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
