Vietnam War and Linebacker II veteran Ron Bartlett & aviation artist and filmmaker John Mollison bring you Episode 2 of the four-part series on Linebacker II, the Operation that effectively ended the Vietnam War for the United States (and brought the POWs home).
Each episode features a downloadable Educator's Supplement + the 1-2 minute recollections of veterans and their families.
In this episode, Karl Eschmann is unusually qualified to speak about the extraordinary efforts - from ground crew to mission planning to actual flight ops - behind the Linebacker I and II Operations.
Eschmann managed the ground operations of two F-4 squadrons during the Vietnam War and continued in the USAF in weapons technology and logistics. Eschmann also wrote the acclaimed book on Linebacker Operations, “Linebacker, the untold story of the air raids over North Vietnam.
This episode and especially the downloadable Educator's Supplement are a great primer to the next episode, THE THUNDER ROLLS AT CHRISTMAS.
