Review
"Highly recommended to both jet aircraft modelers and all other people interested in the history of Vietnam conflict." -Pawel Krupowicz, AeroScale
Product Description
Osprey's examination of A-7 Corsair II Units of the Vietnam War (1955-1975). Arriving on station with the USS Ranger (CVA-61) in early December 1967, the first Corsair II squadron became operational immediatedly and sustained its first combat loss three weeks later. This book tells how the A-7 soon proved its worth supporting ground operations in South Vietnam. As it continued to serve in the ground support role, the navy swiftly introduced the A-7E which soon ran into difficulties with supply lines - perhaps on account of what many perceived to have been a rushed introduction to service. Once these teething problems were resolved, the A-7E became the primary air-to-ground aircraft of the fleet.

This review is from: US Navy A-7 Corsair II Units of the Vietnam War (Paperback)
For a small book, this volume contains an amazing amout of detail and first-person recall of the A-7 Corsair II flown by naval aviators during Viet Nam.The book is easy to read, although the photographs (B&W) are quite small.
A good edition to anyone's Naval Aviation library.

This review is from: US Navy A-7 Corsair II Units of the Vietnam War (Paperback)
Puschased for my hubby who worked on these as a jet mechanic in the Navy during the Viet Name war. He selected it himself. Arrived on time & in excellent condition. He was a little disppointed that the size of the book was so small for the price.
Listmania!
