The F-8E (Phantom II) was a supersonic fighter aircraft developed by McDonnell Douglas for the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the 1950s and 1960s. The F stood for fighter, and the 8E designation represented the eighth generation of the F series of fighters. The aircraft was a significant improvement over its predecessor, the F-4B, with improved range, speed, and armament capabilities. Initially, it served as a fighter-bomber and universal combat aircraft, eventually becoming a dedicated air-superiority fighter. The F-8E Phantom II remained in service with the US military and several allied nations until the late 1990s and early 2000s.
