Roger Mullins argues that Red China would rely on airpower and volunteers if drawn into Vietnam, but cannot sustain such a war. He assesses the CPAFAF's limited fuel, production, and transport, predicts air strikes against the North rather than full invasion, and contends U.S. air superiority would cripple China quickly if war began.
