USAF  F-105 REPUBLIC THUNDER CHIEF, VIETNAM WAR PATCH,

Description

The size of this patch is 3" x 4.2".
Despite a troubled early service life, the F-105 became the dominant attack aircraft early in the Vietnam War. The F-105 could carry more than twice the bomb load farther and faster than the F-100, which was used mostly in South Vietnam. On 3 April 1965, the first strike package to be sent against the Thanh Hoa Bridge comprised 79 aircraft, including 45 F-105 THUNDERCHIEFs as the main strike force. Two THUDs were lost to the MIG-17 attack. A third that was thought to be lost to groundfire was later claimed by the Communist side as shot down by a MIG-17. An F-100 claimed the only probable MIG-17 kill, although the North Vietnamese pilot believes three of his VC comrades were shot down by F-105s. A fourth F-105 piloted by John Boyd narrowly escaped.
