In over 5 million missions during the war, US forces lost over 2,000 aircraft. This photo essay looks at the men and aircraft that comprised American airpower during the war. Among the aircraft shown are the A-1 Skyraider, A-7 Corsair, B-52, C-130, C-141, F-105, F-4 Phantom, and OV-1 Mohawk. The US Navy controlled the waters off Vietnam, employing not only aircraft carriers to support the air war, but also surface vessels ranging from the battleship USS New Jersey down to destroyers, which supported ground forces with heavy naval gunfire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Doyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526743728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526743725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"David Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071585546495,"sku":"9781526743725","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2723a764-d72e-40b8-91d3-bf15efc8dc74.jpg?v=1685436975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-aviation-and-naval-warfare-david-doyle-9781526743725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
