| Description | U.S. Air Force B-26B/Cs on the flightine of Bien Hoa Air Base, South Vietnam, in 1962. The aircraft belonged to the 4400th Combat Crew Training Squadron, als part of Operation Farm Gate to bolster the strength of the South Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF). In April of 1962, the 4400th CCTS was renamed the 1st Air Commando Group. By April of 1963, "Farm Gate" strength was 12 B-26Bs, 2 RB-26Ls (equipped for night operations) and 13 North American T-28B Trojans. Four more B-26s were received in mid-1963. All B-26s were officially listed as "RB-26" reconnaissance planes. On 8 July 1963 the unit was reformed as the 1st Air Commando Squadron (Composite) of the VNAF 34th Tactical Group, and the U.S. insignia was overpainted by the VNAF insignia. After two crashes because of structural failures in August 1963 and February 1964 all B-26s were grounded and mostly scrapped at Clark Air Base, Phillipines, in 1964. |
