Description

Arriving on station with the USS Ranger (CVA-61) in early December 1967, the first Corsair II squadron became operational immediatedly and sustained its first combat loss three weeks later.

This book tells how the A-7 soon proved its worth supporting ground operations in South Vietnam.

As it continued to serve in the ground support role, the navy swiftly introduced the A-7E which soon ran into difficulties with supply lines perhaps on account of what many perceived to have been a rushed introduction to service.

Once these teething problems were resolved, the A-7E became the primary air-to-ground aircraft of the fleet.
