The F-4 Phantom was designed to meet a US Navy requirement for a fleet air defence fighter to counter the threat posed by fast long-range Soviet bombers. McDonnell's design used twin engines to give high supersonic speed, large internal fuel capacity for long range, and powerful radar and radar-guided missiles. The US Air Force also ordered the F-4 in 1962. With over 2,800 delivered, the US Air Force was the biggest user of the F-4, the Navy and Marine Corps taking over 1,200. They were in action in Vietnam from 1965 to 1973 in fighter, bomber, photo-reconnaissance and electronic counter measures roles. As part of its commitment to NATO, the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing was based at RAF Bentwaters, Suffolk and flew the F-101A/C Voodoo in the tactical fighter bomber role between 1958 and 1966.
