Volume monografico che fornisce una concisa storia dell'aereo con dettagli sul disegno (ivi compresi l'armamento, carrello, equipaggiamenti vari) e lo sviluppo, analisi delle modifiche apportate, le varianti, e un approfondito sguardo alla carriera operativa. Oltre alla consueta trattazione iconografica (foto, disegni al tratto e profili a colori) il volume si presenta con l'ultima di copertina ripiegata con all'interno uno spaccato dell'aereo in grande formato a colori.

Originally designed as a carrier-borne long-range interceptor armed with radar-guided missiles and tasked with defense against missile-launching bombers, the Phantom II went on to establish itself as one of the most important multi-role fighter, attack and reconnaissance aircraft of the 20th century. Arguably the United States' most important aircraft in the Vietnam War, where it played the role of workhorse as well as being a deadly MiG interceptor, the Phantom was also a mainstay of Atlantic Fleet operations - intercepting Soviet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft and turning them away from the carrier groups at the height of the Cold War. This book reveals the design and development history of the naval Phantom, its variants and the exported designs adopted by other NATO countries. Packed with illustrations, photographs and first-hand accounts, it provides a technical history of one of the most famous aircraft ever built.
