Gourley. The General Dynamics F-111 was one of aviation history's most promising planes when it came out in the early 1960s. Many of the challenges faced by putting the F-111-with all of its new systems-into service are now accepted as a normal outfit in modern fighter aircraft. The F-111 had a lot of bad publicity, but in the end the F-111 did its job extremely well. Although the Navy did not accept the F-111B model, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat became a success, resulting in large part from the F-111B experience and tests it did accomplish with the radar and missile systems. 128 pages, 267 color and B&W photos, 9"x 9", hardcover.
