By the time of the Vietnam War, the U.S. military had transitioned
to jet aircraft. Yet leaders soon learned prop-driven planes could
still play a role in counterinsurgency warfare. World War II-era
Douglas B-26 light bombers proved effective in close air support
and interdiction, beginning with Operation Farm Gate in 1961. Forty
B-26s were remanufactured as improved A-26 attack aircraft, which
destroyed hundreds of North Vietnamese supply vehicles on the Ho
Chi Minh Trail in 1966-1969. The personal recollections of 37
pilots, navigators, maintenance and armament personnel, and family
members, tell the harrowing story of B-26 and A-26 Air Commando
Wing combat operations in Vietnam and Laos.
