The F5 in Vietnam.

Curious as to why this extremely maneuverable fighter, despite being
in theater during the war was not used in the air to air role.


The F-4 was having its clock cleaned by the MIG 21 which could easily
turn inside it and the Phantom crews were often unable to retaliate
even if given the opportunity as they had no gun and their missiles
usually didn't work.
