60,000 Sorties, 18 Pilots Lost, 1 War Forgotten: The Bearcat in Vietnam
Deployed by France during the Indochina War, the Grumman F8F Bearcat flew more than 60,000 missions in brutal conditions. Heat, rough airstrips, and outdated bombs made the aircraft dangerous even before combat. Despite its flaws, the Bearcat delivered devastating close support and paved the way for modern counterinsurgency air tactics.
