US Navy A-7 Corsair II Units of the Vietnam War

Peter B. Mersky

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Osprey's examination of A-7 Corsair II Units of the Vietnam War . Arriving on station with the USS Ranger 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.
