Striking Power Boost Planned
The United States will raise the new striking power for the South Vietnamese Air Force by a third, adding 75 Skyraider dive bombers this summer to total over 100. Advisers will double pilot training from 400 to more, ensuring more Vietnamese fly combat missions while U.S. crews stay out of fighting. Secretary McNamara said the aim is to double Vietnamese pilots and strengthen the air force, with prompt action and eventual withdrawal of U.S. trainers once Vietnamese capability is self-sufficient.
