The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II series was arguably one of the prominent combat fighters of the 20th Century.The F-4 Phantom is a fast and powerful aircraft that proved itself in roles such as interceptop, air-superiority fighter, attack and reconnaissance platform. It was produced in larger numbers since the end of World War II than any other Western fighter of the time. The F-4 Phantom II first flew on May 27, 1958 with crack test pilot Robert Little at the controls. The Phantom II, as it was named by company founder James S. McDonnell, soon set such a galaxy of records that every air force in the world realized that a new and potent player was on the scene. In its first few years, the McDonnell Phantom set eight new aviation records, among them altitude (98,557 feet), speed (1,390 mph), and time to climb (9,000 feet in 34.5 seconds).

The Phantom was the first multiservice aircraft, flying concomitantly with the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. The Phantom was the first and only aircraft to be flown concomitantly by both the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds. Total US production was 5057, with another 138 being built under license in Japan. The Phantom was in continuous production for 20 years (from 1959 until 1979). During the Vietnam War, 72 Phantoms were coming off the production line every month.
