For this reason, it was on nuclear "Victor" alert in Europe (Bitburg and Spangdahlem Air Bases in Germany) and the Far East (Kadena on Okinawa and Osan in the Republic of Korea). After President John F. Kennedy took office in January 1961, his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, shifted the USAF's focus more and more to conventional warfare including, through modifications, the mission of the F-105. When the air war against North Vietnam was initiated in earnest on March 2, 1965, the USAF needed an aircraft with a load-carrying ability, and the only aircraft that could do that job was the Thunderchief. This book not only gives in-depth accounts of various historical F-105 events, with inputs from the pilots involved, but is also lavishly illustrated with over 150 images, many of which have never been published before. 410 0$aHistoric Military Aircraft 517 $aRepublic F-105 Thunderchief 606 $aHistory 606 $aThunderchief (Jet fighter plane) 610 $aMilitary Art And Science 610 $aTechnology & Engineering 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aThunderchief (Jet fighter plane). 676 $a623.7464 700 $avan Geffen$b Theo$01664473 701 $aArruda$b Gerald$01664474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822563003321 996 $aRepublic F-105 Thunderchief$94022520 997 $aUNINA
