The history of air combat has seen one recurring theme new tactics are learned in battle forgotten or discarded when battle concludes and relearned at great cost during the next war. This cycle continued into the 1960s when America was drawn into the Vietnam War. Despite having a skill and equipment advantage US Navy aircrews were faring poorly against North Vietnamese fighters. Air combat lessons learned during prior wars and since forgotten or deemed inapplicable due to advances in technology were once again relevant.
