Description	Thud Ridge is a 1969 memoir by Jack Broughton about flying the F-105 "Thud" for the United States Air Force in the Vietnam War during Operation Rolling Thunder. The title Thud Ridge derives from the nickname given by F-105 pilots to the Tam Dao range, which was both a waypoint during air attacks in the vicinity of Hanoi, North Vietnam, and a terrain masking feature for ingressing fighters.Broughton, Jack (1969). Thud Ridge, J. B. Lippincott Company. ASIN: B000NQII28, p.xii. (2006 Crecy paperback reprint entitled Thud Ridge: F-105 Thunderchief missions over Vietnam, ISBN 978-0-85979-116-8.)The book set a style that was followed over the next several decades by a spate of gritty memoirs by air veterans of the Vietnam War. Broughton's book is unique to the extent that it was described as "history in the making" by Hanson W. Baldwin of the New York Times.
