THAI AIR ACCIDENTS (1970 to 1979)
Below are listed brief details of known accidents to Thai aircraft, civil and military, and to other aircraft where the accident was within Thailand. The bulk of the data is from Thai DoA records, from Royal Thai Air Force sources and from press reports. Credit is also due to various Air Britain publications, Sid Nanson, Vidya Tapasanan, Marco Dijkshoorn (Scramble), Cheryl Baumgartner, Ed Young’s “Aerial Nationalism – A History of Aviation in Thailand” (Smithsonian 1995), NTSB website and others. For Vietnam era US military accidents, Chris Hobson’s “Vietnam Air Losses” is a valuable source of more detailed information.
