The most famous are the:

1. Douglas A1 Skyraider, a propeller driven dive bomber (see film "Rescue Dawn" starring Christian Bale); Kondor has just recently marketed a 70" wingspan for a R/C (Radio Controlled) flying model of US Navy Lieutenant Patton's Douglas Skyraider. LTjg Patton shot down a NVAF MiG17 in aerial combat during the Vietnam War.

2. Douglas A4 Skyhawk jet, flown by Senator McCain.

3. Douglas DC-3 (C-47), flown as the gunship "Puff the Magic Dragon" in Vietnam.

What war was first for extensive use of jet aircraft and helicopters?

Jets were introduced by the Nazi's towards the end of WWII. Helicopters debuted for the Americans in Korea. Admitting that the question itself is requesting a subjective answer, I'm tempted to say the first war to see extensive use of both jets and helicopters was Viet Nam, but that was only a conflict, so I guess the first American war to see extensive use of both jets and helicopters was Gulf War I, and the first war in the world to see extensive use of both jets and helicopters was probably the Falklands War.


What is a body flap?

A Flap is a control surface that is used to kill the lift of a wing to allow the aircraft to descend. I've never heard the term "body Flap" but it must refer to a Flap or a "speed brake" that is located on the fuselage and is used to slow the aircraft. Military aircraft used speed brakes or Dive brakes to slow their speed when diving on a target to drop a bomb. Some aircraft with fuselage speed brakes is the A-1 Skyraider propellor aircraft of Viet Nam and I think the F-86 jet fighter.
