The F-105 known as the Thud is one of the American icons.
During the 3 years of the rolling thunder between 1965-1968 the F-105 was the main working
horse of the USAF over north Vietnam doing 75 percent of the air strikes over the most heavily
defended targets in warfare history up in the north day after day.
No dought that the type suffered from the highest looses of any american fighter as more
than 400 were shut doun by the Vietnemese.
Anyway the story of the Thud started 10 years before in 1955.
The development and the carrier will be described in next chapters.
I attached here photos of the Geli F-105 in 1:48 scale.
