The Vietnam Air Force (VNAF) began with a few hand-picked men chosen to fly alongside French pilots during the State of Vietnam era. It eventually grew into the world’s sixth largest air force at the height of its power, in 1974. It is an often neglected chapter of the history of the Vietnam War as they operated in the shadow of the world’s largest air war machine. It was dissolved in 1975 after the Fall of Saigon. Many of its members now live in the United States.

  • La Fuerza Aérea de Viet Nam, o VNAF, fue la Fuerza Aérea de Vietnam del Sur en los años 1955-1975. LA VNAF tomó un rol activo en los enfrentamientos de la Guerra de Vietnam. En la cima de su poder en 1974, la VNAF fue la sexta Fuerza Aérea por su tamaño en todo el mundo. En la guerra la VNAF tomó un rol menor que el de su aliado gigantesco la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, al contrario de las acciones de sus enemigos de Vietnam del Norte, la VPAF. Muchos miembros del cuerpo difunto viven en EEUU hasta hoy. Hasta 1956 la VNAF fue una fuerza pequeña y mal equipada. Entonces los Estados Unidos la ayudaba con helicópteros (en orden cronológico) de modelos H-19 Chickasaw y H-34 Choctaw. Al principio recibieron en VNAF solo aviones de T-28 Trojan, que son para entrenamiento y solo pueden llevar cargas pequeñas de bombas. En 1965 llegó el bombardeo reactor Martin B-57 Canberra, y en octubre de 1965 los helicópteros UH-1 Huey de motor turbina. Luego recibieron los A-1 Skyraider, A-37 Dragonfly, y avión de caza F-5 Freedom Fighter, un modelo de Northrop desarrollado especialmente para exportación a Fuerzas Aéreas extranjeras. Hasta 1972 la VNAF manejaba 18 escuadras de 500 helicópteros, una de las escuadras mayores de helicópteros en todo el mundo. En aquél año el Presidente Nguyen Van Thieu pidió de sus aliados norteamericanos la ayuda del nuevo modelo F-4 Phantom, una avión de caza revolucionario con carga de bombas mejor que todos los modelos que aprovecharon en VNAF hasta entonces. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos le negó a su petición.
