This is a problem for historians. There actually is no official start. Most historians choose to use the date of 1961. The Vietnam War has been described by some writers as a "kaleidoscope"...changing patterns and forms. The war for US veterans in 1961 thru 1964 was totally different than the war fought by men in 1965 and 1966. The men that fought in '67 and '68 were totally surprised by the warfare that took place in Vietnam in 1970 and 1971. For the Airmen, the US Air Force F100 Super Sabre (jet fighter bomber) fought from 1962 until 1971. But most GI's never heard of it, nor ever saw it. Most men saw and heard of the F4 Phantom II. But that aircraft didn't begin to fight until '65.
