Overview

By the summer of 1966, the US air force's reputation had hit rock bottom in Vietnam. After nearly 18 months of the limited bombing campaign called Operation Rolling Thunder, North Vietnam's airfields, principal port, and capital city remained largely unscathed. Working under technological, geographical, and political constraints, the air force began to look for ways to use limited air power more effectively. Drawing upon 20 years of research in classified records, Wayne Thompson integrates operational, political and personal detail to present a full history of the air force role in the war against North Vietnam. He provides a view of the motivations and actions of the people involved - from aircrews to generals to politicians - in every phase of the air campaigns.
