| 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. |
