Why read it?
1 author picked Termite Hill as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ve always loved the Republic F-105 Thunderchief. It’s one of those jets that look like it’s going Mach 2 sitting on the ground!
I know people who flew the airplane during the Vietnam War. This book has the inside scoop, since Wilson flew F-105s during Vietnam. It’s one hell of a ride, in the cockpit and out.
I’ll probably take that ride again, soon, if only to prepare for future oral history interviews with Thud drivers.
From Tom's list on air war stories that put you in the cockpit.
