Tomcat! The Grumman F-14 Story Paul T.
Gillcrist. Told in an anecdotal format, this new
book is richly marbled with the salt air of fleet
experience. Perhaps the F-14 program’s greatest
success was its overwhelming acceptance by
the youngsters in the fleet. Anecdotes about the
Tomcat legend abound, especially in the chapters
devoted to its employment by the fleet in the
oceans of the world.
