Monográfico F-14 TOMCAT. AVION REVUE
The F-14 Tomcat is more than a naval aircraft. It has marked an era in the same way that aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom II, the different models of the legendary Mirage, the F-86 Sabre and the P-51 Mustang did before it.
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat's career has been long and always in the elite, in the front line and with a success that very few fighter aircraft can boast.

After WWII, the Russians were demonstrating amazing advances in propulsion and guidance systems and had also begun testing thermonuclear weapons.
As early as 1950, the US Navy began looking for an interceptor defined as a "Fleet Defender" to destroy these threats to its ships at a safe distance for the ships.
The US Navy decided that what it needed was an aircraft capable of engaging multiple targets simultaneously and at distances exceeding the range of the air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles of the day. The concept that seemed to offer better prospects was to put a large part of the intercept performance in the missile, rather than in the carrier aircraft.
The search eventually led to the creation of the F-14, an aircraft that was never easy, either in design or piloting.
