Historical Overview

The F-4E Phantom II is one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the 20th century, produced by the American company McDonnell Douglas. The F-4E version was equipped with the AN/APQ-120 radar, a distinctive nose, and an M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon, making it particularly effective in both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. The first F-4E units entered USAF service in the 1960s, and this aircraft played a key role during the Vietnam War (period: 1966-1973). It was used for bomber escort, enemy fighter interception, and ground target attacks.
