Created in 1966 "Air Power in Action" presents an overview of U.S. Air Force activities in South East Asia showcases the various aircraft deployed in fighting the North Vietnamese. These include air strike, close air support, transport, reconnaissance, artillery spotting, rescue and tactical aircraft. Lt. General Joseph H. Moore is shown planning operations intended to restrict Viet Cong supply. Naval aircraft are also shown in the conflict include A-1H Skyraiders. Air Force pilots are shown in C-123 "Providers" delivering supplies to civilians including chickens and rice. B-52s make heavy bomb strikes against the North while F-4 Phantoms and their recon variants provide timely data on enemy movements. Defoliation / deforestation is also shown, with Agent Orange being sprayed on the jungle in an attempt to reveal enemy strongholds and prevent easy movement of Viet Cong forces.
Lieutenant General Joseph H. Moore was known for his role as commander of the USAF 2nd Air Division and Seventh Air Force during part the Vietnam War, and in particular, his leadership role in Operation Rolling Thunder.
The film boldly states that "today's wars are being fought in three dimensions, and whoever proves his superiority in the air will prevail in all dimensions." Unfortunately this simply was not the case -- despite the complete air dominance and interdiction demonstrated in this film, the Air Force could not win the war from the skies alone.

1966. A Great Year
A1 Sandys cool planes.
This film reminds me of Commanders call we had once a month. USAF
Like the old film
Anybody know when the B-52s started operating out of Utapao in Thailand. I know that there were fighter bases at Ubon, Udorn, Takhli and Na Korn Panom. I spent most of 68 at Camp Vayama near Sattahip with the Army at the 233 TC TS. We operated the munitions port there. The B-52 base at Utapao was 35 to 40 KM southeast of us.
I was stationed at Nakhon Phanom (NKP) on the border of Laos. USAF
You were stationed at what we called the country club. You were right on the ocean and a short hop to Bangkok. I was at Nakhon Phanom (NKP) up on the border of Laos.
@@tombutcher5776 I knew of NKP, Ubon, Udorn and Korat. You guys had all of the fighter/bomber bases up north.
Utapao had a lot of nice facilities. The Army camp at Camp Vayama was not nearly as nice as was Utapao.
@@tombutcher5776 I forgot to mention Takhli .
I had a brother went to Vietnam. There's still here, hes all gone.😢
I was a tunnel rat Binh- Duong
That took more cojones than I could ever have.
since this had my uncle in it(Gen. Joe H. Moore) I was curious
Agent orange !!!
Waaaaiiiiiiit a hot minute. Something doesn't add up here...
So to whom and where was a film like this one shown? Military Service men? Congressmen? Recruits?
4:34 anyone can identify this aircraft?? just looks like Mirage but not sure...
esos son (MIG-21 soviéticos) me di cuenta por la forma de las alas y el pico del avion
It’s a convair f102 delta dagger, part of the century series of USAF aircraft
f5e tiger sir
Both Nick and Oxrobot below appear to be correct s depending on whether it's the first aircraft at 4:34 (F-4E) or at 4:35 (F-102 Delta Dagger. Quite distinctively different if you freeze the images * compare the wing Shae and the turbojet ducting on each side of the centre fuselage. 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
I always and only believe in my own lies which I have fabricated for others. They become my truth and I love it! I call it propaganda ...
I call you irrelevant.

Defoliation?........................Yeah, I'm alright with it. I'm morally flexible. #AgentOrangeJuice
I enjoy watching the old films but I hate the ones showing the spraying of Agent Orange. My wife is from Vietnam and she has lost 3 family members to liver disease likely caused by the spraying.
Generally like to watch planes strafing with guns and rockets. But the leaders hogtied the pilots in vietnam. They were a joke
❤🇺🇸
The narrator sure sounds like Mike Wallace.
Better life for the people of Vietnam. Have you heard about Pol Pot deaths camps.
The conclusion of the viatnam war was you need too take the initiative to the n.viatnamis with a lot of power and no restriction go all out in great force and not fearing china and russia.
americans did that and lost.
@@markcorrigan3930you should take the time to study the after action reports from that war. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Nice "We are winning documentary"... not not. ;)
They were winning. Politicians forfeited it
@@ksztyrix no, they were losing. And they lost.
And the US still couldn't win a bunch of farmers.
Gee, I didn't hear the Marines mentioned once. It's interesting to listen carefully to the wording. This, folks is what propaganda sounds like. And if we did such a good job, why didn't we win? Just asking for a friend...
again a war started on a lie...
Well, no, Vietnam was started on a truth. Who was being fought was the lie.
人は未来がつかめないと不安になったり怖がったりしますよね! 人間の思考の選択よりもはるかに大きいです。あなた自身の心は最悪の敵です。あなたの最大の敵は、あなたが理解していないあなた自身の妄想です。心が悪で、心が純粋でない場合、これらの恐ろしいイメージは自然に彼の領域に現れます。心が純粋でなければ、これらの状態が現れ、あなたはこれらの苦しみに苦しまなければなりません。トラブルに巻き込まれると、どこもかしこも地獄です。そうなると、貪欲、欲望、さらには性的不道徳が増大した後、耽溺することは避けられません。地獄の痛みを含め、すべての苦しみはそれによって引き起こされます。 😎👹👺
Quote; "without air support, every GI soldiers will be awarded "medal of honor".. because we don't harm older farmers, woman and children"..
That is a shameless lie.
@@havu-oj4qh 99.9% of all casualties caused by air bombs and rockets were civilians.
A
Terrible propagandist bullshit.
