Designed in the late 1950s to defend US carrier groups against Soviet bombers, the Phantom II became the standard Navy and Marine fighter of the Vietnam years. The F-4B was the main Navy version of the 1960s, armed with Sparrow and Sidewinder missiles and no internal gun. VF-111 took the name "Sundowners" in the Second World War, for bringing down aircraft marked with the rising sun.
