This entry details a significant design oversight in the F-4 Phantom's initial development: the absence of an internal machine gun. It highlights how the belief in missile dominance led to this flaw, which was later corrected in subsequent aircraft like the F-16, F-22, F-35, and F-18. The F-4's reliance on external gun pods during the Vietnam War is also discussed, underscoring the continued importance of close-range engagements.
