Summary: The Best Hitorical record of the F-111 yet!
Review: I have been associated with the F-111 since Jan 1970 both as a crew member and a civilian instructor. I am Also the high time USAF F-111 instructor weapons systems oficer, with 2500 hours. This book covers the aircraft in more detail than any I have yet seen and my collection of F-111 books is extensive. I have books that have been sent to me from people in Japan, United Kingdom, Australia and all over Europe and this exceeds them all. Out of 129 F-111A's I have flown 95 of them and out of 94 F-111E's I have flown 76 of them, so I feel sure of myself when I rate this book 5 plus stars and tell you it brings back many memories.

Summary: Detailed history
Review: The bulk of the book consists of photographs and short career histories of practically every example built (90% have a photo). The technical description and operational history section are adequate, but I would have wished for more detail in these areas and less endless repetition of basically the same photograph. The production is excellent.

Summary: a well-written and informative book..
Review: this a great book about the vark..unfortunately like his previous book, Republic's A-10 Thunderbolt II : A Pictorial History, Don Logan included too many picture of F-111 on the ground.Almost 90% pictures depicted F-111 on the ground with a side view.This make the picture looks like a repetiton.It make the vark looks like a statue rather than a predator in the sky. Nevertheless this book is a good reference for the F-111 enthuasist and fan.
