Vietnam March 20, 2010

While limited by political considerations, the overall air combat effort in the Vietnam War was enormous, involving combat support and strategic bombing in North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia by U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps aviators. The Vietnam War lasted twice as long as World War II and the USAF flew twice as many sorties in Southeast Asia as Army Air Forces carried out in World War II.
