F4DPhantomII Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 USN/USMC USAF/FOREIGN Users Regards Scout I bought Jake Melampys F-4 Phantom exposed in 2009.Its a great reference book.Tons of pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes Jakes book is superb - though it could have been titled "The Modern Phantom Guide for those variants typically needing (long) runways". I still bought it, just the editor in me saying. Hope Jake will still let me my his new F-15 book later this month/season/year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I too can recommend Jake's book, it is fantastic... but not for Navy birds, as others have said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeffbmac1 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi mate, I found the MDF No 13 F-4 Part 2: US Navy and Marine Corps Varients by SAM LTD great. Plenty of side views, photo walk arounds, close ups and cockpit detail/photos and a complete history. There are modelling sections with built aircraft of most versions of the navy types. I think its about 125 pages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jozef57 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have about one meter pile of Phantom books. If you want just one reference book there is hardly anything better than Jake Melampy´s for AF and Danny Coreman´s (DACO) for NAVY. JOzef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The DataFiles books on the Phantoms are chock full of repeated pics, incorrect captions, and misleading placement. Then the gallery section: suffice to say except for the always-impressive Dave Augnst they went with the 4-H talent pool. Will never by anything from that Mfg. again.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. ... there is hardly anything better than Jake Melampy´s for AF and Danny Coreman´s (DACO) for NAVY. Fortunately, I have to agree.
