THUNDERCHIEF
Designed as a high-performance
successor to the F84F
Thunderstreak
the first YF-105A first flew in 1955 using the
J57 engine. A
new variant using the more powerful J75
engine was put
into production as the F-105B and this
entered service
in 1958. Although designated "F" the F-105
was really an
all-weather attack bomber carrying 8,000 lbs
of nuclear or
conventional weapons in an internal weapons
bay, in additional
to significant wing stores carrying
capability.
The F-105D model had
a more powerful version of the J75
engine and a true all-weather capability. A two seat combat
proficiency trainer version of the D model was developed
and designated F-105F. The last variant, the F-105G, was
the two seat F modified for Wild Weasel anti-SAM missions
in Vietnam.
Our CD has flight manuals
covering all variants of the F-105.
The YF-105A has been scanned from a good quality photocopy
and the others have been scanned from the original flight
manuals and retain any colour pages.
