{"product_id":"9781782003281","title":"A-6 Intruder Units of the Vietnam War","description":"Designed in the years following the Korean War  and then manufactured for over 30 years starting in 1960, the A-6  quickly became the most capable attack aircraft in the US Navy’s stable.  The first squadron, VA-75, made its initial deployment directly into  combat in south-east Asia in 1965, and, over the next eight years, ten  US Navy and four Marine Intruder squadrons would conduct combat  operations throughout Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. After initial problems  and a high loss rate, the type proved itself beyond all doubt as the  Naval services’ best night and foul-weather platform, particularly  during the region’s notorious monsoon season. The A-6 Intruder became a  true classic of naval aviation over the skies of North Vietnam but the  cost was high as 69 Intruders were lost in combat to all causes during  the war. This work tells the complete story of these aircraft in combat  during the Vietnam War.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182651916528,"sku":"9781782003281","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782003281_p0.jpg?v=1763717727","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782003281","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
