USAF and VNAF A-1 Skyraider Units of the Vietnam War

Vorwort
Originally operated by only the US Navy and US Marine Corps, two-seat (A-1E/G) Skyraiders were transferred to the USAF and VNAF as early as 1964. As the single-seat Skyraider versions (A-1H/J) were retired from the US Navy, USAF and VNAF squadrons were also equipped with these aircraft.
