WaltzThis book is like a Biography of a famous person; but instead it is a Biography of a Great Airplane. The original requirement was for a new escort fighter for the Strategic Air Command but it failed to perform that unrealistic mission. But because of it's basically sound and capable design; excellent speed; payload; and survivability; the McDonnell F-101 "Voodoo" evolved into three separate mission aircraft---Tactical Fighter (F-101A); Air Defense Interceptor (F-101B); and Tactical Reconnaissance Fighter; (RF-101C)This book covers all of the problems encountered and solved during the design; modification and flight testing required to make the "Voodoo" the outstanding century series aircraft it was. The author covers every modification in detail to make the book almost like a mystery novel. You get to know the people that designed and made the aircraft and the then you get to see those that flew the aircraft on the different types of missions andhow the "Voodoo" performed. And finally you get to see how it performed in combat in accomplishing the reconnaissance mission in South East Asia and the sacrifices made by our Air Force pilots. Lt. Col. Burton L.

Sensational study on a Cold War thoroughbredBy Nicholas E.If an aviation book deserves to be called "labor of love"; then it has to be this one. Quite obviously the product of long and thorough research; it is the most complete coverage of the legendary McDonnell heavyweight ever. Both the development and the operational service of all variants are covered; the photographic documentation is nothing short of sensational and includes many as-yet unseen photographs. As has always been the case with the type; the reconnaissance versions get greater coverage than the interceptor ones; which is reasonable; as they have seen significant combat action over Cuba; Vietnam and mainland China (under the Taiwanese flag). Interesting aspects of the operational employment of the interceptor versions by the ANG and the CAF are included; and I was more than happy to read quite detailed passages on the ANG's employment of the RF-101G/H/B; in particular the call-up in response to the USS Pueblo crisis. And at long last; some photos and data on late; post-Vietnam RF-101C operations by TAC ANG ...Definitely the book of the year (or perhaps of the decade?) for those fascinated by Cold War USAF jets. Very highly recommended.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great aviation history.By MikeThis probably one of the best aviation history books that I have read. Exacting documentation; outstanding photography; great operational and technical history of the F-101/RF-101 aircraft.
