[Machine Translation] Focuses on how the F-14 squadrons operated and fought during Operation Iraqi Freedom, which transitioned from Operation Southern Watch, a surveillance mission over Iraq, to the invasion of the Iraqi mainland. From the struggles that supported the constant sorties and surveillance missions in Operation Southern Watch, which was also a prelude to the Iraq War, to the process of installing the latest guided bombs on the old F-14, to the wide-ranging role played by the F-14 in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a large-scale battle that spanned air and land. The wide-ranging role played by the F-14 in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a large-scale air and land battle, is described in three dimensions through the testimony of U.S. Navy pilots who fought in the actual battle. This is the definitive systematic reference work that summarizes the final exploits of the F-14 squadron, which until now has never been told in Japanese!
