Was in RVN in 67 and saw many of these aircraft and A1Es' providing CAS for us. Didn't know they where so dangerous to fly but they did save a lot of troops lives. We where happy to see them when it was needed. There where a lot of F4s' also doing the CAS thing for us.

Good article. So where can you buy it? Did a search and came up with nada even at D&L Sports site. SO? WHERE?

Nice article. Have read one of Plaster's books on SOG and a few others that had volunteered for SOG. The best books I have read are by a former SOG fella' named Nick Brokhousen. We Few and Whispers in the Tall Grass are the titles. These two books are excellent with no punches pulled, by that...

Being a Naval Aviator off of a US Carrier has to be the best job in the world.

My all time favorite uncle was in the 1st Marine Div. He was wounded on Guadalcanal but returned to duty. He never talked much about any of the islands after Guadalcanal that he landed and fought on. I still have the Japanese rifle and bayonet he brought back from Guadalcanal, even has a few...

The best, American Iron is what it is.

Great A/C. Did no-com lase missions with them, very exciting is an understatement. Also did CSAR for a Navy Air Group and they called punching out blowing glass. So on our ready room door we posted a sign for them. "You blow glass we will come get your ***". They loved it! Naval Aviators we...

Excellent article. Enjoyed the information as I have never read anything about these weapons before.

Ditto, tired of the PC crowd and their absolute ignorance of our history.

My Father was a gunner on a B24. Started out as a belly gunner cause he was short. Then they put him in the nose gunner position. He was on many of the big raids like the Schweinfurt ball bearing raids. When the German 262s came out he downed two of them. He said the pilots must have been...

Great article, just watched 30 Seconds Over Tokyo last night so this is the capper.

Great bird and nice article. Rode and jumped from sh!thooks quite often in the Army. Did static and HALO out of them and it was always a 'blast'. The only down side on these birds for passengers is the noise level, it is incredibly loud and very high frequencies. If you didn't have hearing...

Knew the WAD also on a somewhat personal level. Great guy and a warrior. you and I may have met once in Kuwait or somewhere.

Silly article.

If you spend a lot of time in the boonies old school bushing is best. Maintenance in the field must be simple and fast. Been walking all day on a hunt or field trip and when you make camp you really want to eat and sleep so cleaning the firearms and blades must be stress free and fast.

Looks like some US tech in that cockpit instrument panel.

This may sound crazy to some but I would place a claymore right in front of my position if we where in a static location as the last hurrah if I (we) where over run, that way I could take a few of the commie turds with me when I left the planet.

Terrific combat weapon. Great rifle in RVN just that the ammo was heavy when you carried a double or triple load.

We where in Morocco training a Moroccain Airborne unit and had a flat bed trailer loaded with LAW for live fire exercises. We also had a a ton of RPGs'. Needless to say we fired all of it up while comparing the RPG to the LAW. The biggest discovery was in high winds the RPG climbed into the wind...

Was in a place called Dak To in 67' and an A1 came in shot up and crash landed on the PSP runway there. We rushed to A/C as soon as it stopped and and rested on its' nose. The guys closest pulled the wounded pilot out and we all backed off waiting for it to cook off. It didn't and sat there tail...
