This bibliography was requested by the Department of History
for the 14th Military History Symposium, which will be held at

It consists of a highly selected portion of the U. S. Air Force

Vietnam War: refugees, veterans’ adjustment problems, uniforms
and insignia, weapons and equipment, medical affairs, statistics

personal narratives.
This bibliography was compiled by Mr. Elwood L. White of the
Reference Branch of the Academy Library. The manuscript was prepared
for the printer using Pro-cite bibliographic software.
