Robin Olds and Operation Bolo

Christina Olds, daughter of the legendary Brigadier General Robin Olds, joined us as a guest speaker on May 9th for a special webinar to discuss her father's monumental career. We dove into Operation Bolo, a prominent mission in the Vietnam War, and Gen. Olds's role in planning and leading this innovative aerial operation. During this discussion, we also covered the successes and challenges faced by the USAF during the Vietnam Air War, the performance of the F-4 Phantom, and the lessons learned that apply to today's military strategies. The discussion was moderated by the Museum's Senior Manager of Education, Lt. Col William "Spin" Spincola, USAF (Ret.).
