The previous edition took the story up to 1962 and the F4H Phantom. This one provides corrections and additions to the original text and illustrations. For example, the F7U chapter has been significantly revised based on my F7U-1 monograph and the 381-page F7U-3 book I wrote with Cutlass-expert Al Casby; the Mach 2 chapter incorporates material from my monographs on the first 47 Phantom IIs and the F8U-3; and the chapter “Disappointments” is now "Missteps and False Ones" to include VTOL fighters. New chapters include F6D/F-111B (benefiting from my original monograph and subsequent research), F-14A/B/C/D, and F-18 A/B/C/D, which includes material from my "Strike From the Sea". Significant events post 1993 are also covered including the retirement of the F-14 and "legacy" F-18 as well as the introduction of the F-18E/F and F-35C. The Summary and Epilogue has been updated to expand upon the F-18E/F and JSF/F-35C chapters and discuss the forthcoming unmanned and F/A-XX programs.
Unless you're in England and maybe Europe, ordering from Crécy will involve significant postage. It will be available in the US in September from Amazon and Casemate Publishing: https://www.casematepublishers.com/9781800353251/u-s-naval-air-superiority/
