Historical Information

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is an American two-seat multirole fighter that debuted at the end of the 1950s and became one of the most important aircraft during the Cold War. The C, D, and J versions served in the US Air Force, US Navy, and USMC, and were intensively used during the Vietnam War (1964–1975). Phantom IIs fought over Hanoi, in air superiority battles, as well as in numerous strike missions against ground targets. Their combat capabilities were appreciated by both Air Force and Navy pilots.
