*******************************
I served on a carrier in the early ‘60s; catapults division. I can attest that the F-4H aircraft had VERY powerful and loud engines. .....Too bad that they didn’t have cannons or machine guns. Having only bombs or missiles led to many being shot down over VN later. ....The sweep wing version may have allowed some to evade enemy aircraft more easily.
