By the 1970's, the Phantom II had truly become the mainstay of the West's air defence, this GREAT PLANE was the all time, all round, jet fighter success story.
A multi world record breaker, an air combat success over Vietnam and the Middle East, a thumping financial success for McDonnells, an extremely versatile aircraft, so many roles, so many air forces and navies.
In short, a GREAT PLANE: an outright winner.
Yet this powerful aircraft was originally an official loser the failed contender for a U.S. Navy contract. To the immense credit of the McDonnell team, they kept faith with their design and forced the authorities to rethink.
The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps soon demanded the Phantom and then the U.S. Air Force adopted it as their standard weapons system for Tactical Air Command. Vietnam air war experience confirmed the rightness of all these decisions.
From then on, this GREAT PLANE - affectionately known as the St Louis Slugger became the natural choice for many air arms, including the British Air Force and Royal Navy.
This GREAT PLANES video uses outstanding colour action footage to faithfully trace this intriguing story.

00:30The wonders of aviation take to the sky on wings.
00:35On this episode, station yourself behind the pilot.
00:39Man the plane's arsenal of gadgets.
00:42Deliver the goods.
00:44Power that adapts to every demand.
00:47Join Navy and Air Force display teams who chose the F-4 Phantom.
00:52A plane for all seasons.
02:11These aircraft, flying in United States Air Force livery, are examples of what was the mainstay of Western fighter might for over 20 years.
02:20Used by the majority of the West's Air Forces, it was originally conceived and very successfully employed as a Navy Fleet Defence Fighter.
02:29During its lengthy tenure, it's been referred to under several pseudonyms, including the St. Louis Slugger and the Double Ugly.
02:36But it's better known by its proper name as the Phantom II.
02:42Here, preparing to take off in May 1978, is the 5,000th Production Phantom II, painted in a special celebratory colour scan.
02:51Soon, the festive paint job would disappear beneath the camouflage of the Turkish Air Force.
02:57But, flying low over St. Louis, the brightly coloured plane cannot help but have attracted attention.
03:02At the controls is Bob Little, who took the first of the type into the air for its first flight 20 years before.
03:09A few days earlier, on the 24th of May 1978, others who were closely involved with the evolution of the Phantom had gathered to admire the Celebration plane, when it was first presented to the public.
03:26Product of Macdonald's famous design team, the F-4 Phantom represents the Western Alliance's greatest post-war fighter success story, and the plane must have been close to a few hearts in the room.
03:38However, doubtless, the Phantom II meant even more to this man, for this is James Macdonald, Mr. Mac, under whose leadership the Phantom II's namesake first started the company on the road to success over 40 years before.
03:51In 1943, Macdonald Aviation was merely a subcontractor, supplying parts and assembling aircraft for other manufacturers, when the Navy asked it to design its first jet-powered carrier-based fighter.
04:05The project did not have a high priority within the Defence Department at the time, but Macdonald seized the opportunity with alacrity and produced a plane whose shape was, for the time, revolutionary, and which was to affect aircraft production for years to come.
04:21It bore features that have become almost signatures of later Macdonald aircraft, not least of which are the dual engines.
04:28Although, at that time, twin engines were an almost absolute necessity due to the unreliability of the early jets,
04:55Macdonald have only built one plane which did not have two engines.
04:59As Mr. Mac said, two engines will bring the boys back home more likely than one.
05:04Microsoft Mechanics

05:08But Macdonald was also mentioned around the world at Microsoft

05:10The Smart Man just stood by a decent ass, you know, big school was important in everybody at the time.
05:12And according to Eles, let's say any operation baru, they were back home more likely than another one.
05:14Yay.

05:23The Smart Man, who passed multiple child стар women can expect the FPS heroes in.
05:24In this dark navy colour scheme, the sleek lines allow the name Phantom easily.
05:40The first of the famous St Louis Ghost Fighters had arrived.
05:56The new technology would be a challenge for engineers and pilots alike.
06:01Jet aircraft simply did not work the same way as their predecessors.
06:06We can make a comparison here with the bulk of the F-8 Corsair, possibly the most powerful
06:11piston-engined aircraft ever built, almost dwarfing the slim, sophisticated and considerably
06:17faster Phantom.
06:36As aircrew gained familiarity with the technology, it became obvious to all that the jet would
06:48soon totally supersede piston engines.
06:52But the first Phantoms, like other American jet aircraft, were not to see service in World
07:09War II, as they arrived too late.
07:11However, sixty examples of the Phantom were built, and it had the distinction of being
07:17the first American jet aircraft to be successfully deployed on carriers.
07:22The prototype, which was the only plane completed before VJ Day, also had the distinction of being
07:27the Navy's fastest aircraft of World War II.
07:32The basic design of the Phantom was so sound that it merely needed refinement and considerably
07:37more powerful engines to take the form of McDonald's F-2, the Banshee.
07:43The Banshee was not only successful as an airplane, but also commercially.
07:47Nearly 900 were produced in a few short years, and many saw active service in Korea.
07:53With such a large order, McDonald's plant expanded as it cemented itself as a leader in the new
07:59era of jet aviation.
08:01But, as is always the case in such matters, to maintain that reputation and the company's
08:06competitive advantage, a more advanced design had to be developed.
08:17The next major step in aviation was the adoption of the swept wing, and employing the new principle,
08:23McDonald put forward the F-3 Demon.
08:26The Demon was the only single engine production aircraft ever to come from McDonald, and although
08:31a basically sound design, it never delivered its predicted performance, due in the main to
08:36the failure of the engine to deliver the specified power.
08:40It could only reach supersonic speeds in a shallow dive.
08:56of the F-3.
09:01the Banshee goes to the ground, and it was the same as the company's
09:06engine.
09:07It was the same as the sea.
09:09It was the same as the air.
09:11It had to be a small jump in the air.
09:13It had to be a small jump in the air.
09:16It had to be a small jump out of air.
09:18It was not the fact that the body was in there.
09:21The non-nurью.
09:22It had to be a small jump in the air.
09:24It had to be a large jump.
09:25By the early 50s, Chance Fort, one of McDonnell's competitors, was offering a truly supersonic
09:42Navy fighter in the form of the Crusader.
09:56To counter the challenge from Chance Fort, McDonnell proposed a more advanced daemon and developed
10:02several concepts which featured its original premise that two engines were better than
10:07a demon, but in the end, the Navy chose the all-new Crusader.
10:23McDonnell had taken some of the features of the daemon and put it through a process of
10:27advanced design refinement.
10:41In the end, they arrived at the plan which is now known as the Classic Phantom.
11:02The wings have always been of particular interest, with the raised outer surfaces countered by
11:07the drooped tail sections.
11:10It was a truly distinctive shape, and was one that would be recognised for many years
11:15to come.
11:17Undaunted by their lack of success, McDonnell persisted with the design, and finally won
11:22a small order.
11:23It has often been speculated that this work was given to the company to ensure that the
11:28McDonnell design team remained intact as a defence resource.
11:36This is a wooden mock-up of the Phantom, as it was first shown to the Navy.
11:46The project approved, the plane was designated the FH-41, and the first rolled out of the
11:52St. Louis factory on the 8th of May 1958, to be given the name of its predecessor, McDonnell's
11:58first jet, the Phantom.
12:00Bob Little took the new plane up for its first flight a fortnight later, on the 27th.
12:06The flight was not without incident, as with the failure in the main hydraulics, it was
12:10abandoned without any attempt to proceed to supersonic speeds, as originally hoped.
12:16The next flight was beset by the same fault.
12:18But, on the third attempt, things went smoothly, and the great potential of the magnificent
12:23aircraft became apparent.
12:25Little made a comment after his first successful flights that was to become famous.
12:31This time we've got a winner.
12:37With confidence in the Phantom II vindicated, it went into production, soon to be deployed
12:44in service as the Navy's fleet defence fighter, an aircraft whose purpose was to protect carriers
12:49against attack.
12:51With a truly successful aircraft on their hands, the Navy took the opportunity to celebrate
12:55the 50th anniversary of naval aviation with a grab of records, beginning a succession that
13:01would see the plane set the greatest collection of records ever gained by a single aircraft type.
13:06The first was the absolute height record, which took the Phantom to 98,557 feet.
13:15Had the plane edged a little higher, to the 100,000 foot mark, the pilot would have officially
13:20become an astronaut.
13:36Further records followed, in a quick sequence of projects, including Skyburner, which saw the
13:47King of Records, the straight line speed dash, raised to 2.6 times the speed of sound.
14:05Another project was Sageburner, where the Phantom hurtled over the desert, 50 foot up at 902 miles
14:12an hour.
14:13This latter put an enormous strain on both pilot and plane.
14:17But, as Vietnam was to reinforce, these were planes that could take phenomenal punishment, and still
14:22deliver the goods.
14:24By 1960, the F4s were entering service with the Navy.
14:31And the vital shakedown period had begun, as the Navy personnel became accustomed to their new plane, testing it in its job.
14:38With the regular, dangerous, difficult and stressful processes of carrier takeoffs and landings.
14:45The Navy aviators soon reached the same conclusion as the McDonnell test pilots.
14:52And a 20 year affinity between the aircraft and the service had begun.
14:59The Navy aviators had begun.
15:06The Navy aviators soon reached the same conclusion as the McDonnell test pilots.
15:12And a 20 year affinity between the aircraft and the service had begun.
15:19and the Army has begun.
15:32The Navy aviators had begun!
15:35The Navy aviators had begun!
15:40The Navy aviators had begun!
15:44The Navy aviators managed to get on to the area.
16:17Not long before, no one had wanted the new fighter.
16:21But by 1961, other eyes were speculatively studying the superb performance of the Navy's new plane.
16:28The United States Air Force had, up to this time, considered its F-106 Delta Dart its most valuable interceptor.
16:35But although the Air Force is traditionally loath to buy Navy aircraft, the Phantom's performance could not be overlooked.
16:42Particularly as its achievements were radically enhanced by that most useful of combat assets, the second crew member.
16:50An opportunity to compare the two aircraft was quickly arranged, and the results were conclusive.
16:56The Air Force simply had to have the McDonnell plane, and ordered it as the standard weapon system for TAC units.
17:02The major modifications between the Navy and Air Force versions
17:32were great, and Air Force production proceeded quickly.
17:35This was just as well, because a trying test was ahead.
17:38Navy F-4 Phantoms were the first to see service in Vietnam, where they gave escort cover to A-8 and A-7 attack aircraft,
17:55as well as filling their role as fleet defence fighters, protecting the carrier task forces.
18:00Controlled from the carriers, or from airborne radar, the F-4s protected the Navy's ships and aircraft alike.

20:30These aircraft are from VF-84, Jolly Roger Squadron, which saw considerable service in Vietnam.
20:49But the all-time naval ace in the Southeast Asian conflict was from VF-96.
20:54He was Randy Cunningham, seen here on the right with his partner Willie Driscoll.
20:58Cunningham shot down five enemy planes.
21:03On one particular day, he shot down three MiGs before his Phantom was hit by a surface-to-air missile and grievously damaged.
21:11Still, the plane limped out over the coast, and the two men spent some time in the water before being rescued.
21:18Cunningham took his job deadly seriously, and would often spend time reading on the tactics of pilots in previous conflicts,
21:24from which he drew lessons which he could apply to the Vietnamese situations.
21:30Generally, the North Vietnamese used MiGs, which were invariably lighter than the F-4s.
21:36But, although this gave them a higher manoeuvrability, they were far less sophisticated planes.
21:42Later F-4s were fitted with an added leading-edge slot to increase their responsiveness,
21:48but even without this, the Phantom's combination of high-speed, advanced radar technology,
21:53and the benefit of the second man proved a winning combination.

22:19SOULD by minimizing the gas what he did inосitute in the administration of Israel's
22:25Let's go.
22:55Let's go.
23:25The Air Force's F-4s were also deployed to Vietnam, and the St. Louis Slogger began a new success in Asian camouflage.
23:32The Air Force's first ace was Lieutenant Steve Ritchie.
23:36He, like his Navy counterparts, could attest to the Phantom's prowess in dealing with the lightweight Migs.
23:41Although Robin Olds never got his fifth MiG, he was one of the most colourful and respected pilots.
23:54Seen here landing after his third MiG kill, Olds had an extremely successful career in World War II, with no less than 24 downed German aircraft to his credit.
24:04The experience that he brought to Vietnam, teamed with the F-4, must have been a mighty asset to the Air Force.
24:10Most of the MiG kills were with missiles, either the short-range Sidewinders or the larger medium-range Sparrow, shown here.
24:19The missile would sit, semi-recessed, under the F-4, being released just before firing.
24:27Missillery of this sophistication tended to keep enemy aircraft well away.
24:31The early Phantoms, designed for a role that kept intruders at bay, were not equipped with an internal gun.
24:39Something of a makeshift arrangement, seen here being laboriously loaded, was the 26mm Vulcan rotary cannon, mounted in a gun pod.
24:47It gave a nominal cannon capacity, with the added advantage of being easily demounted and replaced.
24:53These gun pods were usually carried under the main fuselage, however it was possible to fit up to three, using wing points, giving the Phantom an astounding firepower.
25:04The guns were capable of firing 6,000 rounds in a minute, but in such a configuration they lacked accuracy, and were not suitable for dogfighting with one of the nimble MiGs.
25:13The addition of cannon to the F-4 was something the pilots had been pressing for, but it was not until the E-model, that an E-36 Gatling gun was finally fitted internally, some years later.
25:24We'll see you then!
26:24Here, the crew of an F4 recently fitted with the pod stencil a new badge onto the plane,
26:34that of a gunfighter.
26:54Despite the Air Force's disappointed hopes that the external guns would be the answer
27:05to the MiGs, they did find them highly successful for strapping, where their lack of accuracy
27:11was less critical.
27:52The plane that had started operations as a Navy defence fighter now quietly took over
27:57the entire battlefield over Vietnam, absorbing a number of roles and becoming an increasingly
28:03recognisable and welcome sight to the Americans on the ground.
28:08The enormous lifting power of the McDonnell Giant was such that it could, in close support,
28:13deploy weaponry from an array to match virtually any need.
28:19Here, early C models, the initial Air Force configuration, prepare for a ground attack mission, with a payload
28:30of rockets and bombs heavier than that carried by the B-17 heavy bomber of World War II.
33:00Almost all the USAF aircraft types deployed in Vietnam needed refueling in their average
33:05mission due to their high fuel consumption.
33:09This was affected by a number of factors.
33:12Among them, the fuel needed to take off hauling extremely high loads.
33:16The drag of the external stores and their racks and the need for planes over the north to constantly
33:21travel as fast as they could go using maximum fuel in coping with the air defences.
33:28Hence the slow but vital procession of planes queuing to refuel from a tanker that may have
33:33come from as far away as the Philippines have come from as far away as the Philippines.
34:08I'm looking in aphimax.
34:09I oppose you.
34:10I oppose you.
34:12I oppose you.
34:13It is.
34:15I am about to stop and draw.
34:17You always Närssy salee is the vehicle.
34:22And you have to move on to the nutzen set.
34:27Car well if you are not.
34:29I will don't.
34:31This small armada of aircraft is now on its way, fully fuelled, fully armed, and with
34:43F4 fighters escorting safe, or at least as safe as the North Vietnamese defences would
34:48permit.
36:18The air war in Vietnam was hard fought.
36:40The fighter escort might have kept the MiGs at bay, but they could do nothing to lessen
36:45the dangers of low-level anti-aircraft artillery and high-level surface-to-air missiles, SAMs.
36:51Hanoi and its outlying areas were gradually armed with nests of multiple SAM launchers and their
36:57radar scanners.
36:58With a formidable defence network operating, the losses to the bombing forces rose alarmingly,
37:04becoming unsustainable.
37:11SAMs were cheap, highly efficient, and mobile, and had to be countered.
37:17Soon, the Air Force was deploying new weapons to suppress the threat.
37:24The first electronics countermeasures aircraft were converted B-66 bombers, fitted with sophisticated,
37:32high-powered jamming devices to distort the SAM radar reception and suppress the use of
37:37the deadly rockets until the bombers had passed.
37:40Working in their darkened hull, these technicians must have saved thousands of lives.
37:44Another answer came in the form of the two-seater variant of the venerable Thunder Chiefs.
38:02Re-equipped with the second crewman operating a new array of electronics, they turned into
38:07hunter-killers, using their equipment to locate SAMs through their radar signals and attack them
38:13with the deadly Shrike missiles, which homed in on the SAM sites.
38:17The SAMs began to be surgically removed, one at a time.
38:22These special units were referred to as wild weasels and wrote another chapter into the story of the F-105.
38:28Their natural replacement, two-seated, fast and strong, as it had been as they dwindled under the weight
38:34of the bombing campaign, was the F-4.
38:37If you look on the extreme right of this Phantom, you may note the tell-tale Shrike missile under the wing,
38:46a wild weasel.
38:47There were still losses, of course, from the SAMs and the MiGs and the artillery,
38:53or even as the result of accidents far away from the conflict.
38:56Some Phantoms didn't make it back to their bases, and some that did only barely made it.
39:05Working in close cooperation with the other observation aircraft,
39:34the F-4 did the job, day in and day out.
39:41Blind Bat 1, 5-1 is presently in the area.
39:46We are base plus seven.
39:48Our armament is CBU and Napalm with some 20 mic mic.
39:52Do you have anything for us out there?
39:53Roger, no, but, uh, Standby 1, I think we've got our suspected truck parking storage area down here.
39:59We're going to have you take a look at it.
40:01Yeah, we've got a couple of lights down here.
40:02We're going to go around the left here.
40:03We're going to take a look.
40:04Okay, now, we've got to pull around here and kick out a few flares for you,
40:07and then you can go around and take a look and see what's happening.
40:09Roger.
40:10Roger.
40:11Okay, load master, load up four in the rear with you.
40:13Roger, sir.
40:14Loading four.
40:15Okay, now, Roger, kicking about now.
40:20Uh, got your flares of sight now, Blind Bat.
40:34I'm going to start down.
40:35Roger, roger, and, uh, you should be able to see the buildings and stuff like that,
40:39just as the forward makes the bend in the river there, looks like.
40:43We're picking up some ground fire down there, it looks like.
40:48I'm going to have to change my running heading.
40:50I'll, uh, still, uh, turn left here and keep clear of you.
41:02Another McDonnell aircraft to see considerable action in Vietnam was the RF-101 Voodoo.
41:08This was a reconnaissance version of a long-range fighter.
41:12The RF-101s played a vital role in Vietnam,
41:15where it was used not only to photograph potential targets,
41:19but, possibly of considerably more importance,
41:21to take post-mission photographs.
41:24These aircraft, mostly unarmed, would fly in,
41:27sometimes shortly after the bombers, to establish the facts.
41:30It was said that within 24 hours of a mission,
41:33the photographs would be on a desk in the Pentagon.
41:36You can see the strong family resemblance between the Voodoo and the Phantom,
41:41the same raised rear section and the same commitment to two engines.
41:45However, the 101s, like the F-105, were out of the early 50s century series,
41:52and they, too, were approaching the end of their service life.
41:55And there was only one logical replacement around at the time,
41:59the F-4 Phantom.
42:07Now, with a completely redesigned nose, housing powerful cameras and infrared sensors,
42:12some Phantoms would become RF-4 reconnaissance planes.
42:16The needle nose just ahead of the forward camera, distinguishing them from others of the mark.
42:22Phantom escorts guarded Phantom bombers while Phantom wild weasels prowled protectively
42:28to a target that had been photographed by a Phantom,
42:30who would be coming back after them to photograph the damage.
42:46And at the time, the paymenterschap that was too late,
42:49the one that got one in front of the military,
42:51and the other units were automatically reflected by the lightning's rocket.
42:55The other units were headed here to theний at the Mosque.
42:57And the other units were definitely set-up to the beginning of the hurricane.
42:59The completion of the newaroids weren't really set-up to the next-up.
43:02It was changed in the same way when the President were announced,
43:04that was the only one of the scientists,
43:05that was the only ones that had done,
43:07that was not any of the scientists.
43:09And the scientists were published in the upper дел program,
43:10like the scientists,
43:13the scientists and the scientist was heating up to the last-upder and the Germans.
43:15Let's go.
43:45Let's go.
44:15Let's go.
44:45Results from that day's mission confirmed or clarified and tactical decisions for the next day to be planned.
44:52More missions for the fleets of Phantoms.
44:53But the Phantoms has not only a reputation as a combat weapon.
45:18Its power and flexibility enabled it to be adopted for display use.
45:23Not only has it been used by the fabled Thunderbirds precision aerobatics team, thrilling crowds with a display of grace and skill, but also by the Navy's Blue Angels.
45:33As such, the Phantom is the only aircraft ever to have been flown by both services display teams at the same time.
45:40along with the
48:00A further nine air forces were supplied from the St. Louis plant, including Israel.
48:10The Israeli phantoms have seen considerable use, including action over the Beqar Valley.
48:49The F-4 also found Middle Eastern service with the Egyptian Air Force, where it replaced many
49:14of the Soviet aircraft which had been previously arrayed against it in Vietnam.
49:19Here, Egyptian Air Force F-4Es, with their chin-mounted cannon, practice alongside American F-4s of
49:25the Tactical Air Command over a landscape composed of history.
49:30The Tragic Air Force F-4s of the Savage Air Force, which has been recently spotted.
49:33Ha!
49:35They're racing.
49:37They're racing.
49:39They're racing.
49:40Right on!
50:13Now, as the decade ends, well over 30 years from its maiden flight,
50:22crews of the United States Air Force are still being trained on the ways of the Phantom.
50:27Nowadays, its front-line service in U.S. livery is more confined to its mastery of photo reconnaissance,
50:34a role that it made its own in the Vietnamese skies 20 years ago.
50:43It speaks volumes for the plane that it can still be serviced and maintained to a point
50:52where there is no need to consider replacing it in this particular role for another decade to come.
50:58To build anything better would be hard and very, very expensive.
51:01By the time it is replaced, it will be approaching its 50th anniversary.
51:06The End
51:15Here, TAC RF4s on reconnaissance work carefully comb an area
51:45as part of an exercise designed to ensure that the Phantoms and their crews are tuned to constant readiness.
51:52In any foreseeable conflict, reconnaissance will be as important as it was in Vietnam,
51:56and the role for the moment rests easily with the Phantom.
52:01OK, that was good. I'll take that off the gear. I'll call you back.
52:15I'll call you back.
52:45I'll call you back.
53:15If ever there was a plane for all seasons, as far as jet aviation is concerned,
53:35none could lay more claim to the title than the F4 Phantom.
53:39The F4 Phantom.
53:41The F4 Phantom.
53:43The F4 Phantom.
53:51The F4 Phantom.
