The OV-10A Bronco Was a Vietnam War Hero (and Forest Firefighter)
The Bronco proved to be faster and more tactically versatile than the Army’s helicopters of the era.
Here s What You Need to Know: This rugged airplane served well during the Vietnam War and even had an afterlife dealing with forest fires.
The 1960s saw the development of some very unique and very specialized military aircraft. Among those was the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco, a twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. Developed in the early 1960s for use as a counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, the OV-10A’s primary role was a forward air control (FAC) plane during the Vietnam War.
