This publication tells the story of the United States Ari Force's
involvement in the region form the end of the second World War
until the major infusion of American troops into Vietnam in1965.
During these years, and most noticeably after 1961, the Air Force's
principal role in Southeast Asia was to advise the Vietnamese Air
Force in its struggle against insurgents seeking the collapse of
the Saigon government. This story includes some issues of universal
applicability to the Air Force: the role of air power in an
insurgency, the most effective way to advise a foreign ally, and
how to coordinate with other American agencies (both military and
civilian) which are doing the same thing. It also deals with issue
unique to the Vietnamese conflict: how to coordinate a centralized,
technological modern air force with a feudal, decentralized,
indigenous one without overwhelming it, and how best to adapt
fighter, reconnaissance, airlift, and liaison planes to a jungle
environment.
