Arsenal: A-6 Intruder over North Vietnam, Vietnam War
Arsenal: A-6 Intruder over North Vietnam, Vietnam War takes listeners onto blacked-out carrier decks and into low-level, all-weather strike runs against defended targets inland. This episode traces how the Intruder was designed to solve the Navy’s problem of hitting distant, high-value targets at night and in bad weather, then follows pilots and bombardier-navigators as they learn to trust its radar scopes more than their eyes. You will hear how its design, crew workflow, and combat record in campaigns like Rolling Thunder shaped later carrier strike doctrine and support aircraft. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, developed by Trackpads.com.
