F-105 Thunderchief Mig Killers Of The Vietnam War

Despite its `F-for-fighter` designation, the F-105 was designed and purchased to give the USAF an aircraft capable of the delivery of nuclear weapons at very high speed, long range and below-the-radar altitudes. Extensively targeted by MiG-17s and MiG-21s, the F-105 pilots developed innovative tactics that allowed them to compete in air-to-air duels with their smaller, more enemies.
