The F-4E variant was an improved version of the C/D with an elongated nose and compact radar. These two things made it possible to install a 20mm M61A1 6 barrel 640 round Vulcan gun pod in the nose. The F-4E was the most produced variant with 1387 aircraft being made over its 12 year production period. The “E” also equipped more air forces than any other variant of the Phantom II.
McDonnell Douglas F-4D Phantom II
Designed as a defence fighter for the US Navy, the F-4 Phantom flew for the first time on May 27, 1958. This twin-engine, long-range fighter/bomber proved to be highly adaptable and served in the Marine Corps and US Air Force as well as the Navy. During the Vietnam War, it was the main air superiority fighter of the Navy and the Air Force and was also used for reconnaissance and ground attacks. The Phantom continued to serve for much of the 1970s and 1980s and even carried out missions during the first Gulf War. Finally Replaced by the F-14, F-16 and F/A-18, the Phantom was withdrawn in 1996.
