{"product_id":"9781783409631","title":"Phantom from the Cockpit: Flying the Legend","description":"The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom was the outstanding aircraft in many of the Western World's air forces during the 1960s and 70s. It played a key role in the 'Cold War' and saw action in Vietnam. It first flew in 1958 and went into operation with the US Navy in 1960. During its long front-line life it flew in the roles of an interceptor, fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApart from giving a comprehensive overview of the Phantom's history, this book looks particularly at the experiences of the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm when they received a new model designed with a British Rolls-Royce turbofan instead of the original American power-plant. All was not sweetness and light when the first trials commenced and this book traces its development and progression from being a carrier-based attack aircraft flown by the Fleet Air Arm to the many successful roles it played as a land-based aircraft with the RAF.","brand":"Pen and Sword","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136868565232,"sku":"9781783409631","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783409631_p0.jpg?v=1763723053","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783409631","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
