Description

North American converted more than 300 T-28A into the new T-28D in total. As had been planned, these airplanes were soon re-equipping satellite countries of the USA in South-East Asia. The T-28D took part in the Vietnam War on the side of South Vietnam, and later they were used by the Air Forces of Cambodia, Philippines and Thailand, typically in operations against insurgents inside the country. This airplane very quickly gained a solid reputation as a counter-insurgency machine, and soon the T-28D was being delivered to the Air Forces of Congo and Ethiopia in Africa, and to Honduras, Bolivia, and Ecuador in Latin America. The ability of the T-28 to operate from the most primitive airstrips and conduct rapid air strikes against partisan groups made this airplane irreplaceable in every respect. The last machines of this type were retired from military service in Third World countries only at the end of the 1980's.
