1. Probably one of the greatest (tragedies) of the war was the greatest Air Search Rescue in US Military history... a AC-130 Spectre USAF Gunship that was shot down during the war. More jets, helicopters, and men were utilized to rescue those downed airmen than were used in the celebrated film "BAT-21" starring Gene Hackman.
Why? Because they both happened at the same time, only the press reached the BAT-21 drama first...and that received the attention of the media.
2. In 1968 US Navy Swift Boat 19 was attacked and sunk by North Vietnamese helicopters. Swift Boat 12 (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast) ran along side her and also engaged in battle with the aircraft. US jets were called in and provided air support, accidently firing rockets into the Australian warship HMAS Hobart and USS Boston. The USN states that both incidents are a single incident resulting from friendly fire from those jets. The sunken PCF #19 was located by the USN and ordered destroyed while underwater.
