Napalm Bombing
The A-1 Skyraider, depicted in this photo, was a single-seater plane used extensively for bombing during the Vietnam War. Here, it drops 500-pound napalm bombs on Viet Cong positions. Despite being outdated—having seen action during the Korean War a decade earlier—Skyraiders were valuable for their bomb-dropping capabilities.
The U.S. military supplied many of these planes to the South Vietnamese forces. Eventually, the Skyraiders were replaced by jets, but their role in the conflict was crucial. In total, the Vietnam War saw the use of over 12,000 aircraft by U.S. forces, showcasing the massive scale of the aerial campaign.
