The Heart Of The North – Flying an F-105 Into North Vietnam

North

This .pdf file was sent to me by an Air Force friend who knows what this author is writing about. I’m using his words in his email with his permission:

You may remember Jack Broughton author of "Thud Ridge" and "Going Downtown". 
I met him when we worked at Rockwell on the Bone program at Edwards. 
He's the AF Cross recipient that got court-martialed for defending a couple of his pilots that were

and writing. Brings back memories from long ago………..

Just click on the link above to get Jack’s article.

To subject our servicemen going into harm’s way with such a restrictive Rules of Engagement….
