The first fighter squadron to bear the name Sundowners was VF-11 established on October 10, 1942. To symbolize their superiority over the Japanese, the squadron chose the nickname “Sundowners.” That squad was disestablished in 1959, though VF-156 took up the VF-111 and Sundowners designation the very next day.

The limited edition cover print re-creates an F-4B Phantom II of the Sundowners taking flight off of USS Coral Sea before eventually destroying a North Vietnamese MiG-17 in March 1972.

Also, right here on page 2, we have a model and sign of the Phantom II with the Sundowners markings and distinctive tail art.

Other items of note include an impressive new WWII B-17G Flying Fortress display model located on page 10. There are also lots of new Hobby Master die cast model fighters on pages 35 and 36. And if you are looking for a new book to pique your interest, we have new Legends of Warfare titles on page 28.
