About this listen

Arsenal: F-14 Tomcat in U.S. Navy Fleet Air Defense, the Cold War follows the big twin engine fighter from tense patrols over the Gulf of Sidra to long patrol arcs above carrier battle groups in the North Atlantic and Arabian Gulf. The narrative shows the Tomcat in action as a fleet defender, explains the bomber and missile threat it was built to stop, and walks through its design choices, crew routines, and evolving missions from interceptor to strike and reconnaissance platform. It traces the aircraft’s combat record and legacy while noting how Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine and how the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
