Military Fighter Aircraft for F-4J PHANTOM II - USMC - MARINES WARLORDS 1976 - CP45

The F-4 Phantom II is a third-generation military aircraft designed by the American manufacturer McDonnell from 1953. It is one of the most important U.S. military aircraft of the twentieth century and the most produced Western fighter aircraft since the Korean War. The F-4 Phantom II has been used simultaneously by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Marine Corps, as well as the two aerobatic patrols of the Blue Angels (U.S. Navy) and the Thunderbirds (U.S. Air Force). Originally designated AH-1, it was redesignated F4H by the U.S. Navy, and F-110 Spectre by the U.S. Air Force. Its current designation F-4 became official on September 18, 1962, when the United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system unified the designation codes for the three departments (USAF/US Navy/US Army).
