The war in Southeast Asia lasted for nine long years and proved to be the most controversial of all U.S. wars. This books presents five case studies conducted during that war involving three missions of air power - interdiction, close air support and strategic bombardment. A major purpose of this book is to pull together these previously classified studies under one cover, set to a central theme based on lessons learned (and relearned) in Southeast Asia.
