Marine F-4 Phantoms in Formation

 Soviet MiG-21

   A fourth generation of fighter began appearing in the 1960's. This aircraft could fly at about Mach 1.5 to 2.3. Advances in these planes engines and body styles "aerodynamics," made these aircraft much faster than their ancestors from the 1940's and 1950's. Fighters from this era are the U.S McDonnell Douglass F-4 phantom , and the Soviet MiG-21.
