Personal Combat Ordnance and Bomb Damage Assessment Summary, March 1968-February 1969

This personal tally, compiled by a 6th Special Operations Squadron A-1 Skyraider pilot, summarizes one year of combat operations from March 1968 to February 1969: over 1.1 million pounds of ordnance dropped valued at nearly $1.26 million, alongside a personal accounting of bomb damage assessment results and estimated enemy fire encountered. Documents like this reveal the sheer scale and intensity of a single combat tour flown by Air Commando aircrew during the Vietnam War. Project: 218852
