Product Description

The U.S. Navy's first super-fighter， the F-14， was developed partially on the basis of experience gained with the F-111， a multi-role plane designed by General Dynamics， the Navy version of which， the F111B， was built by Grumman. The F-14A first flew on 21st December 1970 and production-line models started reaching squadrons in 1973. Squadrons VF-1 and VF-2 accompanied the last voyage of the aircraft carrier Enterprise in Vietnam， yet never saw combat. The "Tomcat" would not see action until 1981， when it shot down two Libyan Su-22s during an encounter over the Gulf of Sirte. Since then the F-14 has been updated several times and has taken parts in various conflicts in the Middle East (Iran-Iraq war， 1st and 2nd Gulf War)， as well as in operations over the former Yugoslavia and minor skirmishes over the Mediterranean.
