Here is an interesting piece of film footage showing lots of air dropped ordnance, no sound but interesting non the less.

I hope it works ok

bear with it there are three reels of tape the begining isnt too impressive

what drew me to it was on reel two there is a bit showing the stowage of a M83 butterfly bomb container....appox 12mins into the film...not easy to find original footage of these!!!

Hi Kev,thanks for posting film,quite a selection of weaponry in use there,I liked the aircraft,especially the A4D,Skyraider,and the A26 Invader,to me that was when they built real aircraft,there are few jets that have the same appeal as planes that have a big piston engine up front,
Cheers,
Don,

Didn't see an A4D, but there was a short sectiont hat had a few T 28's, pretty heavy duty aircraft on their own. These looked like films of when the US gave the Vietnamese some of the A1's and A 26's, but the US kept both aircraft up to almost the end. The last A 26 (US) mission was in 1970.
