South Vietnamese take lead in air combat in Vietnam
Pentagon data show VNAF pilots flying roughly twice as many South Vietnam sorties as U S pilots inside the country. U S planes handle most missions in Laos and about 60 percent in Cambodia as American forces wind down ground combat roles this summer. The shift aims for a self sufficient VNAF by next spring with U S bombers focusing on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and Cambodia support.
