U S expands aid and air power as Vietnam war widens
The United States accelerates a massive supply buildup to South Vietnam with over 600 aircraft handed over in two weeks. About 350 transport planes moved 7,000 tons of equipment including artillery and tanks, boosting South Vietnam to nearly 1,850 planes and helicopters.
