VIETNAM AIRCRAFT
![](bronco1.jpg) | 1) OV-10 Bronco | Specifically designed for a counter-insurgency role, this reconnaissance aircraft was used by the USAF and the Marines. Marine Broncos were green with a white underside. |
![](bronco2.jpg) | 2) OV-10 Bronco 2 | The Bronco was armed with four machine guns and in addition, as you can see here, it could also carry a small bomb load. |
![](dragonfly1.jpg) | 3) A-37 Dragonfly | The Dragonfly was developed as a light ground attack aircraft from a jet trainer, and was used by the USAF and particularly the VNAF. |
![](dragonfly2.jpg) | 4) A-37 Dragonfly 2 | |
![](oh13.jpg) | 5) OH-13 Sioux | This was the standard reconnaissance helicopter from the Korean war until replaced by the OH-6 Cayeuse, which entered service in 1968. |
![](oh132.jpg) | 6) OH-13 Sioux | |
![](redteam.jpg) | 7) Red Team | Teams of two gunships were known as a Red team, although in reality I don't think they ever mixed Cobras and standard Hueys as in this example. |
![](uh1c.jpg) | 8) UH1C-Hog | Although it appears similar to the earlier A & B models, the UH-1C had an improved rotor and engine which gave it greater carrying capacity and range. |
![](hueybox.jpg) | 9) Huey box | Each Huey fits between specially made cardboard supports. The rotor axel is a rod which drops into a hole, this can be removed when packing the helicopters to make them fit into a smaller space. |
