Red Ball Express Aids South Viet Nam War Effort
About 8 000 tons of spare parts and vital cargo have been flown to South Viet Nam under the Red Ball Express system to meet urgent needs fast. McNamara ordered the airlift last November and the first Red Ball plane arrived December 8. Space on flights from Travis Air Force Base is reserved for Westmoreland and rapid delivery averages five days with 72 hour possible turnaround. Red ball cargo is marked with a red ball for identification at Tan Son Nhut airfield.
