McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II at George Air Force Base, California: 1964–1992

Let me start with the positive points - the photos are great and are presented very well. Several that were familiar to me but appear very bright and clear in the book. Unfortunately there is no representation of the F-4Cs that were initially assigned to the 479th TFW 1965-66. However there are several images I have not seen before (I have hundreds of images of 35th TFW and 479th TFW F-4s).Unfortunately where the book falls down is on unit information. In Mr Logan's defence it is difficult to master, I have been working on it for over thirty years and still have not cracked the 1972-75 period. However examples of mistakes are that the 4546th TTS is referred to at the 4546th TFRS (again in Mr Logan's defence the USAF Historical Agency thought it was an academic squadron without aircraft and left it off their tables). There is also confusion in the book between the 4435th TFRS (successor the aforementioned 4546th TTS) and the 4535th CCTS, which is erroneously referred to as the 4535th TFTS. Also he shows an F-4D with a red fin cap as being from the 563rd TFS in 1973. The 563rd TFTS operated F-4Cs with white fin caps from 1975 until succeeded by the 39th TFTS in 1977. A 'new' 563rd TFS came along later with the F-4G with red caps.This may sound a little like nit picking but this is a specialist book on a narrow topic where expectations should be higher.In conclusion I am glad to have added this book to my collection of sixty or so Phantom books, it is relatively inexpensive for an aviation book and I recommend it to others.

Excellent BookFor the fan of the F4 phantom
