Summary
During the Vietnam War, Air America, a CIA proprietary airline, flew a variety of missions in the Far East. These missions ranged from undercover CIA operations to overt air transportation. The Republic of Vietnam and various U.S. government agencies contracted with Air America. Because of the tropical climate, Air America pilots favored comfortable attire – shorts and a baseball cap – rather than their official uniforms.
