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

Everything from the start, to the end of the purchasing has been excellent. Book in excellent condition. Thank you

If you're a fan of the F-4 Phantom II, in all it's versions, you will love this book. I spent 4 years, 1971-1975, working Weapons Control Systems (WCS) on F-4C/Ds. The book has great photographs and details on every model of F-4. Makes me proud to have worked on and been associated with this mighty warbird.

Nice selection of F-4 images at George Air Force base. The more I look through this book the more I enjoy it. There are some interesting images such as on page 75 showing an 561st F-4G in fiftieth anniversary markings. A nice reference for F-4 enthusiasts and modellers. Agree with the first reviewer that while images are clear and good quality some appear a little dark. I would suggest aviation enthusiasts also look at Don Logan’s other aviation books if they don’t already have them.

It’s essentially the same few aircrafts photographed from the same angle and the same background. You’re essentially seeing the same photos over and over again! Complete disappointment.

Great pix history, w/ additional info, details, and explanations. Having flown the F4E and F4G at George, it was a great memory jogger of George AFB, 35 and 37 TFW, the squadron’s, and airplanes.

Thank you for fast service and a beautiful book!

This book is a welcome edition to my library. Loaded with great pictures and tons of reference material.

Great read if you are into the history and specs side of the F4 Phantom II and especially if you had the privilege to live or server during the heyday of George AFB!

Excellent BookFor the fan of the F4 phantom

who's interested in the various types of the famous McDonnellDouglas F-4 Phantom aircraft, this book will be the right stuff for enthusiasts in military aviation. Chosen a good example by the author, George AFB had been the right place to photograph all the USAF's Phantoms in 178 color prints, all over the time from the first airframes until base closure. Accomplished by a short base and units history and condensed serial and technical information and descriptions, the book performs a very pleasant insight in F-4 Phantom USAF's service..Who needs more detailed information about F-4 Phantoms, should read encyclopedic books about production and service of this aircraft.

Das Buch enthält ein Fülle von qualitativ recht guten Fotos von F-4 Phantom Flugzeugen, die einmal in George AFB stationiert waren. Das war es dann aber auch.Was den Standort anbelangt, ist der Text mehr als dürftig, da enthält selbst Wikipedia mehr und bessere Informationen.Einige Informationen zu den Staffeln sind fehlerhaft. Die deutschen Flugzeuge und die deutsche Ausbildungsstaffel wird überhaupt nicht erwähnt.Wer also nicht gerade an einem Bilderbuch interessiert ist, der sollte sich dieses Buch definitiv nicht zulegen. Ein glatter Fehlkauf!

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.
