From
the writers and publisher's of AirForces Monthly, comes a new and
unique one-off special publication looking at two of the most awesome
fighter aircraft - the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the McDonnell Douglas
F/A-18 Hornet.
Today
the F-14 is gradually being replaced by the new F/A-18E/F Super
Hornet. But in its day the F-14 Tomcat was one of the most feared
combat aircraft in the world, due in no small part to its excellent
long range radar and the equally long range AIM-54 Phoenix air-to-air
missile. Proven in combat and undefeated in the air-to-air role,
the F-14 has provided the US Navy with excellent fleet protection
and served as a deterrent to potential enemies.
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is now part of the Boeing stable
following the 1997 take over by Boeing and was introduced to replace
the A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II in the strike/attack role. However,
it can also fly the air-to-air mission and since its introduction
in the early 1980s has seen continued development. Today the new
and larger F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is one of the most capable aircraft
the US Navy has ever operated and is now entering fleet service.
This special magazine looks at both aircraft in detail as well as
giving personal views on flying both from pilots that have flown
them in combat and features no less than 321 photographs.
