Vietnam consisted of four wars: The Air War over North Vietnam; the Riverine War in South Vietnam; the Ground War in South Vietnam; and the Covert War in Laos & Cambodia. Nearly all of the 600 plus US POW's consisted of shot down pilots and aircrewmen. These men were shot down over North Vietnam while fighting the "air war."
