F-105 Wild Weasel vs SA-2 ‘Guideline’ SAM cover

Suppression of North Vietnam's surface-to-air missile defences during the Vietnam War as USAF pilots battle with supersonic Soviet ground-to-air missiles, initiating a totally new concept of air war.

"F-105 Wild Weasel vs. SA-2 'Guideline' Sam: Vietnam 1965-75".The Vietnam war was the first conflict that saw extensive use of surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, and thus became a training ground for the tactics of this new type of battle. This Duel presents this story in the context of two of the main opponents: America's top fighter-bomber and the NVA's best anti-aircraft missile.
