When the Wolf Rises: Linebacker II, The Eleven Day War

by Colonel G. Alan Alan Dugard

When the wolf rises was a term used by Theodore Roosevelt to describe "Fear" as experienced in life situations, to include combat and other extreme happenings. This term is applied to the role of the B-52s and the effect on the crews, flying out of the island of Guam and from U-Tapao, Thailand during the eleven days starting on December 18th, 1972. This personal account is a graphic description on the results of those raids from a commander of a B-52 squadron during the raids which led to the end of the Vietnam War and its aftermath.

When the Wolf Rises

I was there as a crew member on "D" model B 52s. Colonel Cigars gave a very accurate account of the "11 day war".
