Historical
Notes:
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 was the
main multipurpose aircraft for the US Military for 20
years. The F-4E variant was an improved version of the C/D with an elongated
nose
and compact radar. These two things made it possible to install a 20mm M61A1 6
barrel
640 round Vulcan gun pod in the nose. The F-4E was the most produced variant
with
1387 aircraft being made over its 12 year production period. The “E” also
equipped
more air forces than any other variant of the Phantom II.
