  • Air America in Laos III – in Combat by Dr
    Air America in Laos III – in combat by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 29 May 2006, last updated on 23 March 2018. When, in May 1987, during the unveiling of the Air America Memorial at UTD’s McDermott Library at Richardson, former CIA director William Colby said that Air America aircraft were not combat aircraft, but transport aircraft, that was only true for most of Air America’s flights. But in at least three programs Air America crews flew or were to fly combat aircraft in Laos: B-26s in Projects Mill Pond and Black Watch in 1961 and T-28s as A-Team pilots for the Tango program. Already in July 1955, 2 C-47s chartered from CAT had participated in the first post-ceasefire combat jump flown by C-47s of the ANL (Armée Nationale Laotienne or Lao National Army), when the aircraft dropped the ANL’s airborne battalion, the Seno-based 1er Bataillon de Parachutistes, over the garrison of Moung Peun beleaguered by Pathet Lao forces.1 In August 59, PEO again contracted an Air America C-46 and C-47 for use in the Moung Peun paratroop drop.2 Then there was another absolutely unofficial use of Air America transport aircraft as bombers dropping “Hot soup”. Finally, many Air America aircraft flew combat support missions that brought them very close to the actual fighting: This was true for many missions flown by Air America’s helicopters, that is by the UH-34Ds assigned to the Madriver-contract and later especially for the Bells and S- 58Ts assigned to the AID-439-713 contract.

History is replete with instances where, even in the light of obvious and flagrant macroeconomics disequilibria, the implementation of stabilization programs is significantly delayed. Why do policymakers and/or politicians prefer to live with growing inflationary pressures and implement price and other forms of highly inefficient con- trols instead of tackling the roots of macroeconomic imbalances? Is the prolongation of inflation the consequence of mistaken views on the me- chanics of fiscal deficits and money creation, or is it the unavoidable result of the political game? Why, after months of apparent political stalemate, are stabilization programs all of a sudden adopted that closely resemble others proposed earlier? These questions are at the heart of the political economy of stabilization and inflationary finance.1 In recent years the analysis of these issues has attained new interest, as a number of authors have applied the tools of game theory to the study of macroeconomic pol- icymaking.

VII, no.6, June 1954, p.13) 1) From the beginning to the reorganization of the Company in the mid-fifties Maintenance of company aircraft Besides scheduled and charter air services, contract work, and secret missions, there was a fourth type of activity, in which CAT was involved since the early days, and that was aircraft maintenance done for the U.S. Air Force. Already in Mainland China, CAT had had its own repair shop: the S.S.Chung, a former US Navy Landing Ship Tank (LST). Since February 1949, the LST floated on the Whampoo River near Shanghai, then navigated to the Pearl River near Canton, and finally escaped to Hong Kong, from where it was salvaged to Taiwan, together with an auxiliary barge called the Buddha that had been acquired at Shanghai in March 1949.1 Together with some Quonset huts and other constructions, all this formed a fully equipped machine shop, including paint, fabric, hydraulic, electric, woodworking, plating, print, instrument, and propeller shops, as well as ward rooms and sleeping quarters for the hundreds of Chinese working there. 1 Smith, China Pilot, p.131; Leary, Manuscript, p.88, in: UTD/Leary/B19F1. 1 CAT’s LST Chung 118 at Kaohsiung in early 1951: front, deck, and Quonset huts (CAT Bulletin, vol.
