| Publisher Description: Many books have been written about the amazing F-105 Thunderchief and its role in the air war over North Vietnam. First-person accounts by Jack Broughton, Ken Bell, Gene Basel, and Billy Sparks gave vivid descriptions of their experiences at Takhli RTAFB, one of the two bases hosting the "Thud" during the Vietnam War, but they provided few photos. Pete Cook, a Wild Weasel crewmember stationed there during the 1968 "Pack One" days, was able to photograph many of the scenes described in those books, and presents 500 color photos showing what life was like during on- and off-duty hours at Takhli.
