Arriving on station with the USS Ranger (CVA-61) in early December 1967, the first Corsair II squadron became operational immediatedly and sustained its first combat loss three weeks later. This book tells how the A-7 soon proved its worth supporting ground operations in South Vietnam. As it continued to serve in the ground support role, the navy swiftly introduced the A-7E which soon ran into difficulties with supply lines – perhaps on account of what many perceived to have been a rushed introd

The legendary F-14 Tomcat was the weapon of choice to strike hard and fast against the enemies of the United States in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Determined to hit the al-Qaeda bases within Afghanistan, US plans were hampered by the reluctance of neighboring countries to allow US military aircraft to operate from their land bases. This meant that carrier-based F-14s were forced to fly several hundred miles a day to reach their targets, flying thousands of missions involving precision

Ever present in the Pacific from Pearl Harbor to VJ-Day, the B-24 Liberator proved to be the staple heavy bomber of the campaign. From its ignominious beginnings in the Allied rout in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, the bomber weathered the Japanese storm with a handful of bomb groups, which played a crucial role in checking the enemy’s progress firstly in New Guinea, and then actively participating in the ‘island hopping’ campaign through the south-west Pacific.

The U.S. Navy’s Patrol Torpedo (PT) Boats occupy a unique place in American popular view of World War II. From classic films (John Ford’s They Were Expendable, based on Lieutenant John A. “Wild Man” Bulkeley’s role in the evacuation from the Philippines via PT Boat of General Douglas MacArthur and his staff) to TV comedy (McHale’s Navy) to the design of “mosquito boat” insignias for some squadrons by Walt Disney Studios, the PT boat is enshrined in public memory.

This book explores the crucial importance of the Thunderchief, deemed the “Thud” by many of its crews, in the Rolling Thunder campaign; it explains the pioneering suppressio
