End of Tour Report, Lt Col James W. Wold, OLAA-56 SpOpWg -- Page 2, Fast Mover FAC Tactics and CAS Aircraft Requirements, 20 June 1970
Page two of a typewritten End of Tour Report filed by an A-1 Skyraider squadron commander at Da Nang Airfield, South Vietnam, in June 1970. The report critiques high-risk 'fast mover' FAC reconnaissance tactics over heavily defended target areas and argues for continued close air support aircraft -- underscoring the operational debates that shaped the eventual development of the A-10 Thunderbolt II.
