Dog-toothed leading edge of wing (12 degrees), anhedral tail (23 degrees). The U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps and the air forces of 12 other nations have flown the multi-role Phantom II. In this aircraft, then a Navy F-4J, on June 21, 1972, Cmdr. S. C. Flynn and his radar intercept officer, Lt. W. H. John, spotted three enemy MiG fighters off the coast of Vietnam and shot down one MiG-21 with a Sidewinder air-to-air missile. This Phantom also flew combat air patrols and bombing missions during the Linebacker II bombing campaign that same year. Later assigned to the Marine Corps, this F-4J was extensively modernized and designated an F-4S. Changes included improving the engines (smokeless), hydraulics, electronics, and wiring; modifying the wings to increase maneuverability; and adding a radar homing and warning antenna, as well as formation tape lights on the fuselage and vertical tail

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic McDonnell F-4S Phantom II, an exceptional creation by McDonnell Aircraft Corp in 1958. This twin-turbojet, two-seat fighter/bomber boasts a remarkable all-metal, semi-monocoque structure with a cantilever low-wing monoplane design. The distinctive features of this aircraft include its dog-toothed leading edge of the wing at 12 degrees and anhedral tail at 23 degrees. The versatility of the Phantom II is truly impressive as it has been utilized by various branches of the U. S. military including the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, along with twelve other nations' air forces. In one notable event captured in this photograph, on June 21st, 1972, Commander S. C. Flynn and his radar intercept officer Lieutenant W. H. John were piloting this very aircraft when they spotted three enemy MiG fighters off Vietnam's coast. With precision accuracy using a Sidewinder air-to-air missile, they successfully shot down one MiG-21. Throughout its service history, this particular Phantom II underwent significant modifications after being transferred to the Marine Corps from the Navy where it was initially designated as an F-4J before being modernized into an F-4S variant. Enhancements included smokeless engines for improved performance and upgraded hydraulics, electronics, and wiring systems. Moreover, the wings were modified to enhance maneuverability while additional features such as a radar homing and warning antenna were added alongside formation tape lights on both fuselage sides and vertical tail section. This extraordinary image captures not only a legendary aircraft but also commemorates its valiant contributions during combat air patrols and bombing missions throughout Linebacker II bombing campaign in Vietnam.
