Aerial Assault Vietnam (2022)

Decades after it ended, the Vietnam War might seem like a distant memory. In fact, it was an enormous conflict, the longest war in American history and the only one from which the USA did not emerge victorious. Throughout the war, a greater tonnage of bombs was dropped than in WWII. It was the war in which the helicopter came into its own and where every type of aircraft was used. For every pilot in Vietnam, there were dozens of support staff, from mechanics to weather specialists. The Vietnam War was also the first time helicopters had been used to transport large numbers of ground troops to combat zones. It is undeniable that air power played a huge role in the Vietnam War, and there's no doubt that the aerial bombardment of Vietnam will forever remain one of the most staggering sustained attacks in human history.
