Did they have flak towers in Nam?

No flak towers. They had an integrated air defense system with radar
early warning, SA-2 SAMs, ground radar controlled interceptors with
guns and missiles, and a range of guns from 12.7/14.5 automatic
weapons through 23mm high rate cannon, 37/57mm radar and optically
guided AAA and 85mm/100mm big guns.

No flak towers, but lots of well coordinated flak.

You sure know how to bring out the best in folks and thanks to you,
I've been enjoying Kramer's contributions once again. My hat's off
to ya, Ed!
