Close Air Support in SEA

A B-57 of the 8th Tactical Bomb Squadron loaded with two 750-pound napalm canisters on each wing in 1969. In addition to carrying a larger bomb load, the jet-powered B-57s provided quicker response time to requests for close air support when a delay of just a few minutes could mean disaster for the ground forces.
