I've read quite a few books on the air war over Vietnam before but not for quite a while, so this is a good refresher and should point me in the right directions. I'm also re-reading some of the relevant Osprey titles to get a better grip on the different stages of the conflict and how the air campaign fitted in to the wider war. I'm hoping to make a start on Thud Ridge later in the year, so some background reading is an enjoyable lead in to the start of the project.
Time spent on backgroud reading is never wasted....
ReplyDeleteCheers,

I agree, reading some of the history behind the conflict and the aircraft is part of the reason I love Historical Wargaming. I have also done some reading on the Vietnam war focusing on the F-105 and F-100's. One book I can recommend on the F-105's is "100 Missions North A Fighter Pilot's Story of the Vietnam War" By Kenneth H. Bell.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation...I'll track down a copy!
