I'm really interested in this plane and I wanna learn some things about it's construction. May be you can recommend some nice books for the topic?

Not a book, but you can listen to a great limited podcast called the F-14 Tomcast. It was an offshoot of the Fighter Pilot Podcast and done by 2 former F-14 guys. They had a lot of guests from various aspects of the Tomcat program and went really deep into the tech and capabilities throughout its lifespan.

I have this one: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grumman-f-14-tomcat-owners-workshop-manual-tony-holmes/1129475584?ean=9781785211003

Its like the old car repair manuals, but for the F-14. It has really good detail and pictures, as well as systems overviews and some background info. 👍

Yeah the Haynes manuals are probably the best you're gonna get that's in print
