Reviews
Pacific Flyer,August 2006 "This is the coffee table book to end all coffee table books, especially if you've ever flown, sean, or heard of a Tomcat. The book weighs almost four and a half pounds, is 13 3/4" x 10 1/2" and filled with 200 glossy pages of some of the most breath-taking color photos you've ever seen. Equally great is the commentary of the pilots who flew the big cats themselves. Alongside each picture is a short commentary by a 'Cat driver, some hilarious, always insightful…I could think of no higher calling than to be an F-14 pilot, and this book celebrates the men and the planes they flew.", IPMS Journal, September 2006 "This book is nothing less than a love story told in pictures and a few, well chosen words. Large, glamorous images of the Turkey taken by many of today's foremost aviation photographers are accompanied by short quotes from those who flew, wrenched, and in a few cases, punched out of this beloved big dawg of a fighter. The text is added in such a way that each recollection appears poetic, although describing how two NFO's jumped from the cockpit of a Tomcat under tow, as the combination of a tight carrier turn and a rogue wave launched Tomcat and tractor over the side, probably doesn't qualify as poetic…The images are simply stunning. Ranging from silhouette-lit sunset profiles to close-ups taken during the filming of Top Gun, you'll see Grumman's last Cat from every conceivable vantage point (including a few that will leave you wondering how that picture was possibly taken)…Highly recommended, particularly if "call the ball" fits anywhere in your vernacular." Virginian-Pilot,August 20, 2006 "There is little danger, even after looking at page after page of the giant jets, of one's ever getting bored…The vignettes from the air crews and mechanics are priceless, some even newsworthy.", Naval Aviations News, Sept./Oct. 2006 "There are labors of love, and then there's this book, put together by three experienced, highly motives individuals, each bringing his own special skills to the project. [Grumman F-14 Tomcat] provides some fabulous photography and wonderful memories, all for a very reasonable price. This is not a history of the Tomcat, although going through all the quotations you certainly gain a sense of the F-14's story and contribution…The concept is elegant in its simplicity: a magnificent collection of color pictures from professional photographers as well as the people who flew or maintained, and clearly loved, the Tomcat…The photos are juxtaposed with poetic memories, short and long, but all highly readable…Tomcat Bye-Bye…! is a terrific requiem for one of the modern era's greatest jet fighters. It will bring several hours of pleasant browsing and reminiscence to operator and enthusiast alike. Great job, baby!" Proceedings/U.S. Naval Institute, September 2006 "In Grumman F-14 Tomcat, professional photographers and authors David Parsons, George Hall, and Bob Lawson have assembled a memorable collection of stunning photographs and graphic, first-hand accounts of the Tomcat to document the successful 35-year service life of the Navy's premier fighter…The heart of this book is a collection of riveting one-page anecdotes and quotes from flight and ground cres, each told in the vernacular of the ready room and the back bar, replete with acronyms, jargon, and colorful 'pilot speak' that are essential to the story. The tales are complemented by the finest, most comprehensive collection of Tomcat photographs ever assembled in one book. From the front cover to the last colorful page, each image in this oversized, coffee-table book is a work of art.", WINGS, October 2006 “Every once in awhile, a new book comes along that literally takes your breath away with page after page of never-before-seen photographs punctuated by pithy, no-hold-barred text taken straight from conversations overheard at Happy Hour at the O’Club.

    Very friendly seller, this book is BETTER than described. Packaging was overkill just to make sure item arrived undamaged and in perfect condition. Great to work with this seller. Will highly recommend but don't go purchasing any of the books I still have my eyes on. Outstanding communication and fair price reduction to satisfy both purchaser and seller

    I am unable to rate the product, because a mistake happened and the incorrect product was shipped. However, the seller responded quickly, and was apologetic and issued a refunded as requested. I will use this vendor again, they were very kind and professional.

  • Great Memories Baby!

    I bought this book, looking for good photos and text. This book went beyond my expectations. The book is full of high quality photos of the F-14 Tomcat. That alone highly recommends this book. Pictures though are only half the story when producing a book. The narrative is written by the men the flew the F-14 and maintained her, giving the authentic feel of what it is like to be in a Tomcat squadron. It shows the bond the forms between pilot and machine. It brought back memories for me of Navy life. This is a honest book devoid of any 'spin' or schmoppy narrative. In today's day and age, one has the critically look at books before buying, I have often found myself disappointed when I have bought coffee table books like this--not this one. Like the F-14 it out performed!

  • Tomcat bye, bye, baby review

    This book is a must have for any fan of the tomcat. The pictures are astounding, and the numerous interviews with pilots, rios, maintenance crews, and those involved with the tomcat throughout the years is just an unexpected pleasure. Many stories of mock battles that you dont hear or read about anywhere else, particularly with F-15s. Who knew in 4v4 scenario, the tomcats "splashed" the eagles from tyndall on 3 different occassions with three different missles in the same mock engagement? That is a testament in itself to the strength of the tomcat.

  • Fantastic visual reference!!!

    In term of a visual reference and a book where the photographers have captured exciting air to air pictures of a fighter, this is one of the best ever! If you like the lines or the look of the F-14, this is the best visual book I have yet to see with large clear shots, mostly air to air, which is always a bit rarer than the usual ground shots. Nothing beats a fighter in the air, wheels up, in the environment they were meant to be! I was not even the biggest fan of the looks of the F-14, but this book made me buy a model kit of it, I was so impressed. The only negative would be, if your looking for explanations of every caption or a comprehensive history, you will have to look elsewhere. This is truly a "picture" book. The images will have to speak for themselves......but ...who cares! :)

  • Grumman F-14 Tomcat by Dave Parsons

    It is simply an outstanding collection of photos and short stories about an awesome airplane! In my opinion one of the two best naval aircraft of all time, the other being the F-4 Phantom. Though I understand the rational behind the retirement of the Tomcat, not having the unique capabilities of this aircraft will not be shown to be a mistake. The quality of the photos in this book are a fitting tribute to the Tomcat! I highly recommend this book to not only fans of the Tomcat, but to naval aviation fans and all aviation fans!

  • Grumman F-14 Tomcat

    Very good book! any aviation fan will be happy with this purchase. Comments and tales of Pilots and persons involved in the development of the Tomcat accompany excellent and big full color photos not published before. Not very technical in its content, this is for someone who already know what the Tomcat is about, however for the aviator, history buff or modeler this book delivers!
