...their part, the pilots complain that they are not being given the hottest U.S. aircraft. The U.S. has turned over 20 C-119 and 20 C-47 overaged transports as well as 100 Cessna A-37 light bombers to Saigon. The Vietnamese would have preferred the much newer C-7 Caribou transports and the faster and more sophisticated A-7 Corsair jet fighters developed by the U.S. Navy. South Vietnamese commanders also complain that while the U.S. needed 4,000 helicopters to conduct the war, it is giving the V.N.A.F. fewer than...
