Wings Over Vietnam

I love military aircraft, so every chance I get at a postcard trade show or when I'm at my favorite post card shop, I look for postcards that have military aircraft on them. Now when I'm searching it's normally a real chore to find these postcards that were made in the 1960's. Plus when I fine them, they're not always in the best condition, these real photo postcards are normally in good to fair condition. Most of them are standard size and have no boarders. I  have a small collection good condition but only have about 25 postcards. But that's joy in collecting; you have to hunt for what you like.

The planes in this blog where use in the Vietnam Air Campaign. The United States entered the war in Vietnam in the 1960's, it had the world's most powerful air force. But unlike past wars when the enemy was clearly defined, the nature of this war was unclear and there was hesitation on what aircraft to use to fight this new opposing force. There were 110 different types of aircraft use during this conflict; here are six of those aircraft from Air Recon to Bombers.
