ONE LIMITED VF-31 TOMCATTERS EDITION : For the past 3 years as the sun was setting on the iconic F-14 Tomcat, aviation photographer and author Erik Hildebrandt (that's me) had been capturing the final defining moments of the remaining seven F-14 squadrons in the US Navy Fighter community. Anytime, Baby! is an unforgettable collection of final phase TOMCAT milestones captured and preserved forever in some of the most detailed and dynamic photographic compositions ever attempted. Unprecedented USN cooperation afforded me true insider access to multiple air-to-air photo missions with forward deployed combat units in the Arabian Gulf inlcuding VF-31 just one week before the last ever Tomcat combat strike mission into Iraq in January of 2006. THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE BOOK AND IS BEING OFFERED BY THE AUTHOR AND WILL BE SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR FOR THE WINNER OF THIS AUCTION. GOOD LUCK AND CHECK SIX... THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST FELIX EDITIONS AVAILABLE. 200 Pages with over 250 all color original images. Images cover each of the last 7 squadrons to fly the Tomcat and the copy tells the story of how the F-14 was saved from extinction in the early 90's and became the most potent weapons system in the USN inventory only to be retired at the zenith of it's capability. 12x9 inches LESS THAN 100 CUSTOM FELIX COPIES IN PRINT.
