Caribou Airlines is a detailed history of USAF C-7A operations in Vietnam. It is about aircrews; crew chiefs; maintenance officers; line chiefs; phase inspection personnel; maintainers; specialty shop personnel; supply personnel; personal equipment specialists; commanders; staff personnel; etc. They made it possible to deliver troops; rations; guns; ammunition; beer; equipment; animals; soda; etc. to hundreds of bases on the battlefields of Vietnam. The 483rd Tactical Airlift Wing and its units were not an airline; per se. They were tasked with supporting Army and Marine units and other customers with air-landed and air dropped supplies using pre-defined; emergency; and opportune sorties to front line locations where the supplies were needed. The history of the Military Advisory Command; Vietnam (MACV); C-7A Caribou Association newsletters; citations of awards and decorations; and personal stories of those involved provide the context for this book.
