F-14 Tomcat in action - Aircraft Color Series No. 206

The versatile aircraft performed the role of fleet air defense, fighter escort, tactical air reconnaissance and air-to-surface strike fighter. This all-color In Action book is the perfect complement to the author's other book, Tomcat! This reissue features four new pages with color photographs and On Display locations.

Excellent picture book

By avi8tor4life - March 18, 2013

The all color series of the F-14 Tomcat in Action only has 56 pages but the book is worth it. All pictures are in color, many different squadrons are depicted and many shots of the F-14 on the ground, in flight and carrier ops are included. It also includes many drawings, cockpit explanation of instruments and an explanation of TARPS pod. All models are briefly described and at the end of the book there is a listing by state of every F-14 on display in the country. Excellent for the modeler and a must have for any Tomcat fan!!
