Re: U.S. aircraft in Vietnam appear to have been extremely vulnerable to AAA

Another aspect of the tactical environment that I've noticed in my reading is that, in the south, pilots would make up to five passes on a target. That sort of thing was foolish in WW2 but common in Vietnam. Still, the loss rate per sortie was much lower than in WW2 or Korea.
