In the late 1960s, the US Navy required a carrier-capable fighter with a very powerful radar that could detect Soviet bombers and destroy them with long-range air-to-air missiles before they got to within cruise missile-launching range of the fleet. The answer was the Tomcat and this book describes its evolution and career in very readable detail. It is illustrated by 270 colour and 36 black and white photographs, 15 diagrams and an excellent cutaway drawing.
