In the summer of 1965 the Republic F-105 Thunderchief
was used against North Vietnam in daring low level
bombing missions. One of the early missions in July of
that year involved about 45 THUDs from Korat and Tahkli
airbases sent to bomb a SAM missile site near Hanoi. The
target turned out to be a fake SAM site, a ploy used by the
NVA to lure U.S. aircraft into "a shooting gallery" for flak
gunners. Six F-105's were lost on that mission. Most
made it to safety on the other side of “Thud Ridge”, a
5000 foot ridge of mountains in the background of the
painting.
Soon after this costly mission, low level tactics were
discontinued
and  bombing was done from higher altitudes.
