The Vietnam War saw the first extensive use of surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, heralding an entirely new type of aerial combat that pitted America's top fighter-bomber, the F-105 Wild Weasel, against the North Vietnamese SA-2 SAM, supplied and initially manned by the Soviets. Equipped with the latest anti-radiation missiles and radar detection equipment, the F-105s were required to be "first in, last out", exposing them to far more sustained enemy fire than other US aircraft. The clash prompted step-changes in technology and tactics as US fighter units strove to defeat their ground-based opponents, who in turn evolved ingenious deception techniques. Drawing upon unpublished North Vietnamese sources and featuring specially commissioned artwork and maps, this groundbreaking study explores the clash of the two key weapons used in this crucial and innovative aspect of the Vietnam War.
