The F-4E Phantom II, operated by the United States Air Force (USAF), entered service at the end of the 1960s and was widely used throughout the Cold War, including during the Vietnam War and numerous local conflicts around the world. A distinctive feature of the early F-4E versions was the integration of radar in the extended nose and the installation of the M61 Vulcan cannon, which increased the jet's effectiveness in air combat. The first F-4Es entered service in 1967–1968 and quickly became one of the symbols of the American air force during that period.
