Republic F-105 Thunderchief Vietnam War Patch. The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was a supersonic fighter-bomber used by the US Air Force. The Mach 2 capable F-105 conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of the Vietnam War; it was the only US aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates. Originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft, a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was commonly known as the "Thud" by it's crew members. *This patch was given to us by a US Air Force Veteran and is 100% Authentic*
