Hello, any chance to get some info, pics or drawings, about the speedbrakes installed on the wings? It's almost impossible to find a decent description and info about this interesting part of the Phantom I. I only found a poor quality video of a deck landing where open airbrakes are visible, but it is even impossible to understand if they are only on the upper surface of the wing or also below. Thanks in advance, Best Regards. Davide
In 1956, at age 12, I lived on NAS Sangley Point in the Philippine Islands. Always enamored with airplanes, I imprinted on the Cougars, Banshees, and Skyraiders then being deployed. Not able to be a Naval Aviator because I was nearsighted, I instead became an aeronautical engineer and general aviation pilot. Now retired, I write books and monographs on U.S. Navy aircraft.
