The F-105 Thunderchief, aka "Thud" carried the majority of the Rolling Thunder bombing campaign to North Vietnam. This is a chronicle of the career of the Thud, in the words of the pilots who flew the Thud into the teeth of the most heavily defended airspace in the history of aerial warfare, and in dozens of photos, both color and black and white. Many of these photos have never before been published. The book is also illustrated with the art of the author.

The F-105 was conceived during the most exciting and event-compressed time spans in aerospace history. The immediate post-World War II period was a time when aircraft manufacturers of this country enjoyed the economic well-being that went with years of successful military programs. Their very healthy balance sheets allowed them to experiment with new technology, and to propose new and ever more sophisticated weapons systems to the new Defense Department. The advent of the post-Korean War Cold War provided the impetus for a veritable flood of new airplanes, and since the need for them was seldom seriously questioned, they could be "missionized" on the drawing board, and often survived unchanged through service acceptance. Republic Aviation was certainly interested in continuing their long line of successful military aircraft beyond the F-84, which had done yeoman duty in the ground-attack role in Korea as the straight-winged F-84E and G, and was later updated as the swept-winged F/RF-84F.
