McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II Naval Fighter Variant

The McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II was a two-crew, carrier-oriented U.S. Navy fighter variant of the Phantom II family. Navy historical material identifies its McDonnell lineage, carrier squadron service, air-superiority role, and twin General Electric J79-GE-8 turbojets. The carrier-based configuration served in fleet fighter operations and retained the Phantom II's radar-intercept and missile-armed role.
