The F-111 started out as a cost-saving aircraft to work for both the USAF and the US Navy but ended up being rejected by the Navy, however, it went on to be on of the most trusted assets for the USAF for the next 30 years and its advanced design inspired a generation of high-performance swing-wing fighters and bombers in the US, Soviet Union, and Europe over the next 2 decades.
This is the story of the F-111 Aardvark.
