Description

Wayne Thompson (au); Richard P. Hallion (fr). No experience etched itself more deeply into Air Force thinking than the air campaigns over N. Vietnam. Two decades later in the deserts of SW Asia, American airmen were able to avoid the gradualism that cost so many lives & planes in the jungles of SE Asia. You should come away from this book with a sympathetic understanding of the men who bombed N. Vietnam. Those airmen handled tough problems in ways that ultimately reshaped the Air Force into the effective instrument on display in the Gulf War. Chapters: New Tactics, Old Strategy; Gradualism on Trial; Season of Discontent; Rolling Thunder Subsides; Protective Reaction; Prisoners & Other Survivors; The Lavelle Affair; B-52 at Last; Maps; Statistics; Glossary; & Bibliography. Photos.
