Tells the story of the Air Force's involvement in the region from
the end of the second World War until the major infusion of
American troops into Vietnam in 1965. 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 issues 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.
