80279 1/72 F-14A Tomcat VF-1 Wolf Pack
F-14A Tomcat - The F-14 Tomcat followed a history of Cats in the military. The F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat that fought in the skies years before the Tomcat ever bit the air. In the late 1960s, the US Navy dropped its TFX program, and decided to focus on an aircraft dedicated to fleet defense. An F-14 was already under development, and was definitely headed for a Cat designation. The person responsible for this project was Admiral Tom Conolly, Deputy Chief, Naval Operations for Air. The aircraft was dubbed Toms Cat long before the official name of Tomcat was ever adopted.
