HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Grumman F-14D Tomcat represented the most advanced version of the legendary carrier-based fighter that served the U.S. Navy for more than three decades. Introduced during the 1990s, the F-14D featured powerful General Electric F110 engines, modernized avionics, digital flight control improvements, and the AN/APG-71 radar system, which significantly enhanced both air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities. Originally designed as a fleet defense interceptor capable of launching long-range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, the Tomcat evolved into a true multirole platform by the early twenty-first century, capable of delivering precision-guided munitions while still maintaining formidable air combat performance.
One of the Navy’s oldest and most distinguished fighter squadrons, VF-31 “Tomcatters,” operated the F-14D during the early 2000s. Established during World War II, VF-31 carried a long combat tradition through the jet age and became one of the final squadrons to operate the Tomcat. In 2003 the squadron deployed aboard the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis as part of Carrier Air Wing 14. During this deployment, VF-31 flew the F-14D in its mature strike-fighter role, equipped with advanced targeting pods and precision-guided weapons that allowed the aircraft to support modern expeditionary warfare missions.
During the 2003 deployment, VF-31 Tomcats participated in combat operations connected with Operation Iraqi Freedom. Flying from USS John C. Stennis in the Persian Gulf region, the squadron conducted strike missions, reconnaissance sorties, and combat air patrols in support of coalition forces operating in Iraq. Equipped with LANTIRN targeting systems, the F-14D proved highly effective in delivering laser-guided bombs against ground targets while providing real-time battlefield imagery to commanders. These operations demonstrated the adaptability of the Tomcat platform and highlighted the aircraft’s continued relevance in modern warfare even as newer fighters were entering service.
This 1:100 scale model captures the aircraft during its final era of frontline combat operations, making it a striking collectible for naval aviation enthusiasts and a fitting tribute to one of the last operational deployments of the legendary Tomcat.

Comprehensive, but not convincing to this non-believer
Format: Paperback
Having previously read Fawn Brodie's , I read this one to get the believer's view. Bushman is at his best describing the evolution of Smith's thinking and revelations. Although the book is long, it is well written and authoritative. It gives a deeper understanding of Smith's religious philosophy than does Brodie's book. To his credit, Bushman confronts many of the crucial controversies surrounding Smith. From my non-believer's perspective, however, the defenses of Smith are not remotely convincing. Some examples: 1. DNA analysis shows without question that the American Indians came from east Asia. This fact is in direct contradiction of the traditional LDS view that Native Americans are lost Israelites. Bushman argues that Smith may have been writing about a small tribe somewhere in New York, or about people outside North America altogether. Within a few pages, Bushman has forgotten about this controversy altogether, and happily describes the Book of Mormon as a history of the American Indians. 2. Smith made the huge mistake of reproducing parts of the hieroglyphics he claims to have interpreted as the "Book of Abraham." These documents have been translated by scholars and have nothing to do with Abraham. Bushman (pp. 291-2) puts forth the argument that Smith's translation may not have been a true translation, but instead may have been a divine revelation simply inspired by the presence of the scrolls. Bushman suggests the same for the Book of Mormon. This is a truly shocking stance for an LDS believer to take: if Smith's "translations" weren't translations, why should anyone believe that his revelations were divinely inspired? Ironically, Bushman's view here sounds much like Brodie's: Not anticipating that scholars would use the Rosetta stone to translate hieroglyphics, Smith imagined that bogus translations would not be found out. 3. Smith repeatedly lied about whether he and the Saints were practicing polygamy. Bushman's defense of Smith in this context reminds me of Bill Clinton's statements regarding Monica Lewinsky: Smith held a secret definition of the term "polygamy," and thus felt free to mislead (or lie) with impunity. The facts, as reported by both Brodie and Bushman, support the conclusion that Smith coerced women into his bed by arguing that their eternal salvation was at stake. The stain of Smith's lustful "revelation" regarding polygamy continues to haunt the LDS, which claims to recoil from earthly polygamy but argues that men (not women) get to have harems in heaven. Despite these complaints, I recommend this book to non-believers who are patient enough to get through it. I feel that I have much greater insight into the LDS mindset than I did before.

The definitive paperback edition
Format: Paperback
I purchased the Oxford World's Classics edition of "Le Morte d'Arthur: The Winchester Manuscript" for a school reading assignment, and I can say with confidence that this is the version you want. The original Old English is present (it was virtually a new language), complete with very useful footnotes to assist with antiquated words and phrases. The story was intriguing, colorful, and poignant (it's a downer, but a well-written one), filled with memorable characters such as Sir Gareth and Sir Launcelot. If you have a taste for classic literature and are looking for a challenge, definitely give "Le Morte d'Arthur" a read, especially with this version.

This copy is an excellent modernization of Malory's text with helpful footnotes and endnotes
Format: Paperback
I got this book for class, so I've only read large segements of it. This copy is an excellent modernization of Malory's text with helpful footnotes and endnotes. The footnotes were always available to explain unfamiliar words without interrupting the flow of the story.

Delightful text, but the omissions are frustrating
Format: Paperback
The modern spellings of the original Middle English text make this book quite easy and fun to read. However if you're trying to follow the actual complete storyline or compare it side-by-side with one of the original full text versions the frequent omissions quickly become quite evident and frustrating as you realize just how abridged this version actually is. That being said, the foot-of-page glossary and explanatory notes are quite helpful and informative. If only they wouldn't have left so much of the text out this would be a five-star review.
