B57E: In May, 1963, the B-57E became
operational in Vietnam as a reconnaissance aircraft under the
classified
"Patricia Lynn" project.
The short-wing returned and for eight years the bulge-nosed
camera-packed platform sported the latest in electronic
surveillance equipment. Its primary function was to locate North
Vietnamese (NVN) and Viet Cong (VC) concentrations and night
supply movements in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
In 1970, the U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV)
credited "Detachment 1" RB57’s at Tan Son Nhut AB with providing
more than 94 % of the battlefield intelligence. |
