Inaccurate Book Cover?

Thursday, March 8, 2012 By kevmille

F-14 during the Vietnam War?

I am an airplane buff and fan of jet fighters.  One of my favorite planes is the F-14 Tomcat.  Hence, when I saw this book cover at the Fahasa bookstore, it drew my attention.  Unfortunately, if you look at the photo as a whole, you notice that the book cover may not be entirely accurate.  Or so I thought…

When I saw the whole book cover, I was surprised to see the North Vietnamese Migs in the foreground.  I figured it must be wrong but according to this website, the F-14A models did serve 8 months at the later end of the Vietnam War.  They did not have any Mig kills but they did get some combat experience.  This I did not know.

So, in short, the book cover may be accurate.  I would like to know if any F-14 Vietnam Vet crews ever saw any North Vietnam Migs while serving in Vietnam.

Can somebody translate the title of the book for me?

    not only the tomcats but the Migs are also not accurate. Mig-21 Reg 5508 belongs to Czech rep and 4418 belongs to Hungarian Airforce which is not in the US up for auction.
