By Ronald B. Frankum Jr.
Until now there was no overview of the air war in Vietnam and the debate it has produced a debate in which some historians argue that the U.S. could have won the war if it had employed more air power. Frankum fills this gap by deftly tying together the air campaigns over North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
