Cleaver, ThomasTHE TONKIN GULF YACHT CLUB: Naval Aviation in the Vietnam War The 'Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club' was the tongue-in-cheek nickname of the US Seventh Fleet that was stationed off the coast of Vietnam. Examines the US Naval air campaign in the Vietnam War from 1964 to 1975. Covers operations from the USS Maddox in the infamous Gulf of Tonkin incidentof 1964 onwards through to the eventual withdrawal of the fleet following the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975. The Seventh Fleet's Task Force 77, which at points during the war had as many as six carriers on station at any one time with 70-100 aircraft on each, provided vital air support for combat troops on the ground, while at the same time taking part in the major operations against North Vietnam itself such as Rolling Thunder, Linebacker I and II. All of these operations took place in a hostile environment of flak, missiles, and MiGs.1 vol, 304 pgs 2023 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING NEW-pb edition, available mid June 2023 ......$22.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our VIETNAM

Cleaver, Thomas McKelveyGOING DOWNTOWN: The US Air Force Over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia 1961-75 Examines the US Air Force's struggle in the skies over Vietnam Southeast Asia, starting in 1962 when instructors were sent to train Vietnamese pilots. Covers the major air operations against the north: Rolling Thunder from 1965 to 1968, and then Linebacker I and II in 1972, with the latter seeing the deployment of America's fearsome B-52 bombers against the North Vietnamese capital Hanoi. These operations were carried out in the face of a formidable Soviet-inspired air defence system bristling with anti-aircraft guns and SAM missile sites. Beyond this, the US Air Force was intimately involved in secret air wars against Laos and Cambodia - one cannot speak of a war only in Vietnam regarding US Air Force operations. The war the Air Force fought was a war in Southeast Asia, including attacking the Ho Chi Minh Trail at night with modified T-28 trainers, to missions Downtown (Hanoi)..
