Re: Napalm



Sandy,

Right, forgot the F-80s which carried a great deal of the brunt of ground attack for some time. Thompson is the one who states that the F-84s never carried out napalm raids.

Most of the Panther missions I looked at talked about problems with bombs and not napalm and the mission expenditures list didn't seem to show it either. VMF-311 is the Corps, so them I would EXPECT to be different! 8-)

PS John -- one pylon, one tank of napalm maximum. As I noted previously some planes had more pylons than they could use to carry napalm, like the Corsair (up to 13 of which they could only carry napalm on 2.)
