Unexpected mismatch The F-Unexpected mismatch HMS Warspite The F-4 Phantom II jet fighter was fielded to be the U.S. Navy's main carrier-based fighter of the 1960's. Designed primarily to go after Soviet bombers stalking U.S. carrier battle groups, the F-4 initially proved to be a less than stellar performancer in air combat over North Vietnam. In particular, the missile-armed Phantom II had real problems in dogfights against aging but highly agile MiG-17 and M.

"Another Osprey work on person to person air battles" according to Steven Peterson. Osprey has a variety of series on warfare and the military.

This book brings to life their dangerous duels and includes detailed cockpit views and other specially commissioned artwork to highlight the benefits and shortcomings of each plane type. However, its tremendous power and bomb-carrying capacity made it an obvious candidate for the attack mission in Vietnam from 1965 onwards. The principal US naval fighter, the McDonnell F-4 Phantom, had originally been designed to defend the Fleet from air attack at long range. The Vietnam War placed unexpected demands upon American military forces and equipment, which had been focused on the probability of tactical nuclear warfare. It was in the skies over Vietnam that many of the techniques of air combat evolved as pilots learned how to use and to defeat supersonic fighters for the first time.. Its opponent was the MiG-17, a direct descendant of the MiG-15, which had given USAF Sabre jets a hard fight in the Korean War

“In this book, author Peter Davies covers the development and deployment of both the Phantom and the MiGs. In all, it is, in this reviewer's opinion, one of the best of an already superb series. This book does a great job of wrapping a lot of information into a small package!” Tracy Palmer, International Plastic Modellers Association (January 2010)“Accented by profile and cockpit artwork as well as occasional biographies of specific aviators from both sides, Peter Davies' book is sure to add to the growing number of well-done works on the Vietnam War.” CDR Peter Mersky, The Hook (Summer 2010).
