Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat (Combat Aircraft, 49) Review: Great Read - I mean Tom Cooper put this together. That all I need to say. Review: Filled with great information. If you like the F-14, GET THIS BOOK! - Yeah, get it. I just wish it was longer. I love the accounts from the pilots, lots of original pictures, history, everything. I've been a fan of the F-14 since I was a kid. I only wish the DOD hadn't been so stupid to retire it. Iran's combat use of the jet shows how well it can perform, even when outnumber, and the odds stacked against it. So, thanks U.S. NAVY for leaving america without a long range fleet interceptor... The F/A-18 Super Hornet is being asked to do everything, even if it could, the added wear and tear on the pilots, jets and systems mean the jets can't be available to be tankers, EW aircraft, Fleet Defense, and and everything else. SOmething that is pointed out in this book is how the original Iranian pilots chose the F-14 carefully after comparing it to all existing jets, including mock dog fights, and care ful reviews of the technical information. The accounts of those pilots (some of them) are in this book. They recount why they chose the F-14, and why it was far superior to anything else at the time. It makes me personally wonder what might have been if the F-14 had been given the love and upgrades that the F-15 and F-16 got. The jet could be protecting the fleet today if not for politics, the F-35, and some poor policy making. I should also point out that the accounts of the Iranian pilots in this book give insight into how dangerous the Persian Cats are and were. Personally, I wonder how many F-15s, F-16s, and F-35s those Iranian F-14s have sold to Iran's neighbors? Clever marketing if you think about it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,115,751 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #300 in Iran History #450 in History of Military Vehicles #873 in Military Aviation History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (132) | | Dimensions | 7.2 x 0.25 x 9.7 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1841767875 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1841767871 | | Item Weight | 12.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Combat Aircraft | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | September 23, 2004 | | Publisher | Osprey Publishing | ## Images ![Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat (Combat Aircraft, 49) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1ffpnMgQ+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read *by C***S on October 10, 2025* I mean Tom Cooper put this together.

Clever marketing if you think about it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An insightful work *by J***Y on August 13, 2013* Having read the other reviews about this work,I can understand the skeptism about much of the book.Some valid points were raised about Irainian propaganda- ie.as concerning their defeating their enemies using a tool of the "despised Satan", the USA. However, much of the action taking place is confirmed by different military sources that monitored the airspace during the long Iran-Iraq conflict. Much of the details are still classified, athough bits and pieces filter through about how the Tomcat served the Irainian Air Force. It did very well, along with the F4s and F5s also purchased from us by the Shah during his reign. As the only other country to utilize the Tomcat, Iran was the only one to take it into a full scale war. Their love affair with the Aim 54 Phoenix missle was well noted by the US Navy and the Russian Air Force, which lost a number of Mig 25s to the Phoenix missle althoug they flew at least 70,000 feet up and ran about Mach 3 on recon flights. They found out why the Shah bought the Tomcat in the first place. So whether the book is completly factual or not, it makes a very interesting read of the best fighter the US ever had, and one retired way too soon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5675844-iranian-f-14-tomcat-units-in-combat-combat-aircraft-49](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5675844-iranian-f-14-tomcat-units-in-combat-combat-aircraft-49) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
