The Osprey series are great books. The ACES/Combat Aircraft series contain Pilots first hand account, Photos and colour aircraft profiles.
The late Bill Peakes book is a mammoth book on the history of each F-4 Phantom produced. Really informative. Bill contributed to the Operational Page of this website
Wings Of Fame
Pilots Stories
These two books compliment each other one by a USMC Pilot in combat over Vietnam and one by an RAF Phantom pilot in peace time. I have to be honest and say that for me being an RAF Phantom phan Robert Prest's book has the slight edge over the two.
This is the encyclopaedia of the F-4. Not only does it cover the history of the aircraft, with some great photos, but each user for each Squadron/unit of each country is listed with a photo.
The Phantom Story - Does what is says on the tin, shame there is no colour photos.
Other Phantom books produced over the years.
