To Hanoi and Back: The U.S. Air Force and North Vietnam, 1966-1973

A copy of the booklet To Hanoi and Back: The U.S. Air Force and North Vietnam, 1966-1973.

“After nearly eighteen months of the largely unsuccessful bombing campaign called Operation Rolling Thunder, the US Air Force began to look for ways to overcome technological, geographical, and political challenges in North Vietnam and use limited air power more effectively. In 1972 the two Linebacker campaigns joined with other air operations to make a dramatic, although temporary, difference. While they unleashed powerful B-52 area bombers, the campaigns also demonstrated the efficacy of newly developed laser-guided precision bombs.”

Written by Wayne Thompson. Mr Thompson is chief of analysis at the Air Force History Support Office.
