Designed for carrier operations to protect the fleet from incoming hostile aeroplanes, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat is regarded as one of the finest air superiority fighters in the world. Fast, manoeuvrable and well armed, it is capable of flying at over Mach 2, its swing wing enabling it to operate safely from carrier decks. This book tells the story of this aeroplane from the design, development and operational life of the F-14, to the political gameplay that surrounded its beginnings.
