Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to separate an aircraft from its pilots and support personnel since they constitute a team. Nor is it possible to describe that team without considering the organizational and operational developments which affected the team's performance. This volume is a narrative of the birth and growth of the RF-101C Voodoo, its entry into the conflict in Southeast Asia, the growth of the reconnaissance force, the problems encountered, and the factors which eventually forced its withdrawal from combat. This study has been prepared by William H. Greenhalgh, historian on the staff of the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. Designated AFSHRC Historical Study No. 149, this historically documented analysis is one of a continuing series in progress at the Center.
