U.S. Air Force Aircraft in Southeast Asia Tested by the Air Force Flight Test Center
Abstract
The following report of United States Air Force aircraft in Southeast Asia tested by, or at, the Air Force Flight Test Center goes a bit deeper than tests for limited war or counterinsurgency. It is felt that most of the tests conducted were made to determine the capability of the aircraft tested; for that reason, tests conducted prior to involvement of the aircraft in Southeast Asia are also included. A few aircraft are included in this report that were not tested (according to available records) by, or at, the Air Force Flight Test Center. These few aircraft are, for the most part, older aircraft and are included to show that they had a part of the action in Southeast Asia. U. S. Army helicopters used in Southeast Asia were tested at the Center by the U. S. Army Aviation Systems Test Activity. Support for these tests was provided by the Center as required. When searching for information not available in histories of the Center, considerable assistance was provided by Mrs. Genevieve Cox of the AFFTC Technical Library, by personnel of the Plans and Requirements Office, the Comptroller Division, the 6512th Test Group, by Lt. Robert Butler and Mrs. Waller of the U. S. Army Aviation Systems Test Activity, and others at Edwards AFB. This assistance contributed significantly to this report and is greatly appreciated.
