Designed in the 1950s to carry a nuclear bomb fast and low into the Soviet bloc, the F-105 fought a very different war. Over North Vietnam, during Rolling Thunder, Thunderchiefs from Thailand flew a large share of the strikes and suffered heavy losses to flak, SAMs and MiGs. The D model was the main single-seat version, with an internal bomb bay, an M61 Vulcan cannon and all-weather avionics. Pilots called it the Thud.
