Hi Tomcatfreak,
Have a look here: Tomcat books "Anytime Baby" & "Bye, Bye, Baby" aren't cheap, but they are very good books with lots of high quality pictures. Hope this helps, C. "You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal" |

Thx! I just ordered "Anytime Baby". Seems to be a real great book, containing awesome pictures of the best fighter ever flown!

Hi there!
A good book about the F-14 is the 'How to Fly and Fight in the F-14 Tomcat' from Jane's series. Although some minor errors are aparent the text is good and gives you a good idea of what to expect in a flight with the cat. Some mission profiles are described and there is also some comparison effort with the F-16 and F-18. I found it very hard to find it and finally bought it from amazon. Fly to live, live to fly, do it or die, aces high! |

Quote If I had to choose one book about the Tomcat, that would be the one I'd go for. Others good ones are: F-14 Tomcat by Tony Holmes Tomcat Alley by David F Brown Tomcat! The Grumman F-14 Story by Paul T Gillcrist Tomcats Forever by David F Brown & Robert F Dorr Fighter Country, The F-14 Tomcats of NAS Oceana by Dave Parsons and Derek Nelson You also tend to find great shots of F-14s in books not specifically about the Tomcat, such as: The Cutting Edge by CJ Heatley III Combat Carriers by Tony Holmes World Super Carriers by Tony Holmes and John-Pierre Montbazet Seventh Fleet Super Carriers by Tony Holmes Super Carriers by John-Pierre Montbazet Supercarriers by Tony Holmes Airwing Enterprise by Michael O'Leary and Eric Schulzinger Superbase 2 - Miramar by George Hall US Naval Airpower by Neil Leifer Blue Water Ops by Erik Hildebrandt Where Sea Meets the Sky by Giampaolo Agostinelli To name but a few. Many are out of print, so you might have to try Abebooks or eBay to get a copy. |
