4th Air Commando Wing

The 4th Air Commando Wing was a specialized unit of the United States Air Force, activated during the Vietnam War era. Established in 1967 at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, South Vietnam, the wing provided close air support, interdiction, psychological operations, and airlift missions using gunships, transport, and reconnaissance aircraft. The unit operated a variety of aircraft, including the AC-47 "Spooky" gunship, supporting both U.S. and allied ground forces in Southeast Asia. The 4th Air Commando Wing was inactivated in 1968 as part of a reorganization, but its legacy continued in subsequent special operations units.
