Reviews

[Robert Hepple · Rating 4 out of 5]

Published in 1984, 'Phantom' was the first in 'RAF Aircraft Today' series by Ian Allan, and comprises an impressive photo album of over 120 monochrome pics with excellent captioning, with basic text sections, chronicling the service of the charismatic combat aircraft with both the FAA and the RAF up to the date of publication. With Bill Gunston at the helm, the captioning and the text overviews are incredibly informative yet concise.
