Description
The A-37B in its current configuration is designed as a ground attack aircraft and was developed to meet the COIN (counter insurgency) role. The US Government supplied 254 Cessna A-37B Dragonfly’s to the Vietnam Air Force (VNAF) during the Vietnam War. Throughout the war, A-37s were extensively used in support of ground forces with many missions being directed by O-1 Bird Dog Forward Air Controllers (FAC’s). After the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, ninety-five VNAF A-37B aircraft were captured and incorporated into the Vietnamese People’s Air Force, this aircraft was among those captured.
