The first time I saw napalm dropped we were moving up to Kimpo from Inchon. Awesome! If that had been used against the Chinese along the Yalu there would be a unified Korea today .... and a lot more old guys would probably be around.

Bob,

Napalm was used against the Chinese when they attacked across the Yalu.

For close air support we carried 5-inch rockets, napalm, and .50-caliber ammunition; the Skyraiders carried the same ordnance—but much more of it. On armed-reconnaissance missions, we carried much the same ordnance, but sometimes bombs rather than napalm.
