We trained the A-26 crews on our gunnery ranges at Eglin when I was there - before I went to DaNang to work with them at Panama Control.

Another WWI aircraft we used in Viet Nam was the A-1 Skyraider, that the pilots called the Spad.

I have a friend who worked at a radar site that worked with the bombers.

A lot of stuff went on over there which no one will ever know about. It was all for next to nothing in the long run .
