Hersham Surrey United Kingdom: Midland Publishing, 2007. 160 pages prof ill colour photos - The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II remains one of the most popular and charismatic fighter aircraft in the world today. Though its long and distinguished service career is almost over, the type does remain operational in modest numbers and in various roles and with interesting markings and equipment, with a number of air forces around the world. This book takes the reader to the last operational locations of the F-4 for a look at its current activities. With a particular emphasis on recent air-to-air images of the remaining operational Phantoms shot by the joint authors, Katsuhiko Tokunaga and Jamie Hunter, the book also includes interviews with and information about the pilots and those still associated with the popular type. It will take the reader behind the scenes of the last Phantom squadrons and into their ops rooms. It is now almost exactly 50 years since the first F-4 Phantom flew. With the type now entering the twilight of its career in active service, interest in an already highly-regarded aircraft has grown significantly. Against this background, Smoke Trails: The Last Phantoms will be snapped up by a legion of Phantom fans around the globe. . First Edition. Soft Cover. New/No Jacket. Illus. by Tokunaga, Katsuhiko.
