We had 2 R4Ds at Danang in 1964-65 (C47 also known as DC3).


There were no R4Ds in 1964-65, and it was C-47 and DC-3.



The Air Force flew WWII era Douglas A26/B26 Invaders up
until Feb 1964. They carried 6,000 bomb loads and had up to
16 .50 Cal MGs. Then there were the B57 Canberras which the
Aussies also flew.


It's A-26, B-26, and B-57, and the WWII era B-26 was out of the inventory
shortly after WWII ended.

But they then reclassed the A-26 Invader to become the B-26 Invader once the
Marauder was gone.

"In June of 1948, the A-26B was redesignated B-26B. There was no danger of
confusion with the Martin B-26 Marauder, since that aircraft was by that
time out of service." http://home.att.net/~jbaugher4/a26_3.html

And of course, the spooks had a slew of C-47 and C-23 cargo
haulers.


C-123.
