Synopsis
More than 300 F-105 Thunderchief figher-bombers were lost in the Rolling Thunder campaign in North Vietnam because the Air Force brought the wrong strategy, disastrous tactics, and an ill-suited aircraft. A Cold War nuke sled, the Thunderchief was as much the pilots' enemy as the North Vietnamese and LBJ's war planners. This is an account by a junior officer serving at the height of the campaign, breaking the unspoken vow of secrecy surrounding a new pilot's psychological gauntlet of fear - a moving testament to those who survived and those who paid the price of honour.
