Airboats
One of the newest allied weapons in the marshland fighting in Vietnam is the "Aircat". It's an airboat which skims the surface of marshland at up to thirty-five miles an hour. Driven by a conventional airplane propeller, the boat carries a crew of six, and operates on only four inches of water.
