Virtual Backseater Volume I: Radar Intercept Officer

This page provides a summary of the releases of VBSvI: F-14 RIO, and the links to download the most recent public version.

This book includes most of the contents from this website, updated (or being updated) and many not available here. The book presents the contents in a more coherent manner, providing a sense of progression that can be hardly achieved on a website that uses a blog-style format.

Drafts and previews are shared to Patreons and to the friends who kindly provide feedback and corrections via my Discord server.

The number of pages is not a meaningful metre of the progress: the first draft was put together in about a month, as the content was readily available on this website. After that, the contents have to be written and checked, images taken and videos put together.
