About this product

Product Information

After the failed April 1972 invasion of South Vietnam and the heavy US tactical bombing raids in the Hanoi area, the North Vietnamese agreed to return to the Paris peace talks, yet very quickly these negotiations stalled. In an attempt to end the war quickly and "persuade" the North Vietnamese to return to the negotiating table, President Nixon ordered the Air Force to send the US' ultimate conventional weapon, the B-52 bomber, against their capital, Hanoi. Bristling with the latest Soviet air defense missiles, it was the most heavily defended target in Vietnam. Taking place in late December, this campaign was soon dubbed the "Christmas Bombings." Using specially commissioned artwork and maps, ex-USAF fighter colonel Marshall Michel describes Linebacker II , the climax of the air war over Vietnam, and history's only example of how America's best Cold War bombers performed against contemporary Soviet air defenses.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Great overall understanding of the air campaign.

    I have many books on the Linebacker campaigns of 1972. I was pleased and surprised to see such great graphics and charts included in this softbound volume. Great color maps with depictions of tactics and formations used to effect the bombing. Some color pics are better than others, likely due to lack of quality in the originals. Excellent section on Vietnamese documents and training on defense of B-52 formations. A very good overall view of the events within this Air Campaign series volume by Osprey.
