Cold War Thunder

摘要

Republic F-105 Thunderchief, Peter Davies, Osprey, 64pp, illus, sbk, £11.99 The second in Osprey Publishing's Air Vanguard series - each focussing on a different military aircraft - this edition profiles the F-105, one of the fastest and most successful strike fighters of the 'Cold War'. Designed to deliver nuclear weapons at low altitude and then fight its way back to base, by the early 1960s it was the primary weapon in the USAF's tactical strike arsenal. This book looks back on the jet's history, and features full colour artwork, numerous photos and cutaway illustrations. It describes how the Thunderchief became a vital element in attacks against some of the most heavily defended territory in modern history.
