Conceived in the waning days of World War II as an escort for the
mammoth Convair B-36 bomber, the McDonnell Model 36 "Voodoo" first
took to the air in 1948. With advances in turbojet technology,
aerial refueling, and miniaturized nuclear weapons, the Model 36
was recast as a fighter-bomber of unimaginable firepower: the
F-101A Strategic Fighter. Overcoming tremendous developmental
challenges, the Voodoo served into the late-1980s, nearly forty
years after its maiden flight. As a nuclear strike aircraft,
reconnaissance platform, and reliable high-performance interceptor,
the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo carries the sole distinction among the
famed "Century Series" fighters of serving in the most trouble
spots, from the era of Eisenhower and Khrushchev through that of
Reagan and Gorbachev, in the waning days of the Cold War. Based on
hundreds of pages of recently declassified documents, this new work
brings the Voodoo into its long-denied place in the limelight.
