The Aviation Fact File/Modern Fighting Aircraft series comprised a number of large format (almost A3 size) hardback books focusing on modern military aircraft operated by NATO and the West. Each volume included a concise development history and a look at the aircraft's operational career. However, the main appeal of this series was the illustrations. With typically more than 100 photographs (mostly in colour), colour drawings, a cutaway drawing, line drawings and dozens of explanatory diagrams - all presented in the familiar Salamander style - each title provided a highly pictorial introduction to the subject.

Description
( … ) Readers will be able to follow the development of the aircraft from the relatively simple configurations originally proposed to the U.S.N., through the long series of variants which were deployed and combat - proven - including information on Israel's mysterious F - 4P and RF - 4E ( S ) - to the exotic but never - built single - seater, F - 4T air - superiority variant, and swing - wing F - 4 ( FVS ).
The Phantom story is far from over. Even as this book was in preparation, a consortium of U.S. companies was drawing up plans for the final version documented in these pages - the " Super Phantom " re - engined variant with modernised avionics and greatly - improved performance. The brutal shape of the F - 4 seems destined to play a significant role in air power well into the 1990's at least.
