U.S.M.C. F-4 Phantom II Squadron History Series, No. 01 VMFA-314 “Black Knights” 1962 – 1982: Deluxe Edition

There have been dozens of published works covering the history of the McDonnell Aircraft F-4
Phantom II. Few among these works are in-depth histories about the U. S. Marine Corps
aviation fighter squadrons. This work covers the history of Marine Fighter/Attack Squadron
314, VMFA-314, while equipped with the F-4B and F-4N models of the F-4 Phantom II between
the years 1962 and 1982. Every conceivable source has been sought to locate details, both big
and small. Some will think this work as too detail oriented while others will be left wanting to
know more. The advantage of publishing in the electronic format is that the reader can select
how much detail he/she may wish to view. Our hope is that we have provided some part of the
VMFA-314 “Black Knight” history for everyone.
