The F-111 Aardvark was the first production aircraft to feature a variable swept-wing. This aircraft s original design met 2 different mission roles for the US military. The Air Force needed a joint-service aircraft while the Navy needed a carrier-based aircraft. Among the construction proposals, General Dynamics won the contract to build the Air Force version that would become the F-111. Amidst much controversy during its early stages, the Aardvark developed into an indispensable aircraft. It served in Vietnam, Libya, and Operation Desert Storm. Currently, the Royal Australian Air Force continues to fly the C-model plane, and the aircraft has one of the best safety records in the Air Force inventory. Features 12 color profiles, 3-view illustration, line drawings, and over 200 color and 21 b/w photos. This book is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast. 80 pages.
