Description

The date: March 12th, 1967. The target: The large, heavily defended, thermal plant at Viet Tri, on the Red River, a short distance to the north-west of Hanoi. Robert Taylor’s carefully researched painting shows Colonel Jack Broughton leading the four 355th TFW F-105 Thunderchiefs down Thud Ridge, at very low level. Scorching along in afterburner at just below the speed of sound, the heavily armed Thuds are just a few minutes short of the target."..I led that mission as I wanted to, ignoring all details of altitude, airspeed, and heading given to me by some administrator who knew nothing of Hanoi... it made good flying sense. We flew a smooth mission, everybody did good work.." Col Jack Broughton ,The target was destroyed...
