What weapons were desinged for airborne use?
During WW2, several weapons were designed for use by airborne troops, including by several different countries. The most common was to cut down the size of the personal weapon. I think Italy re-sized their Carcano rifle, the Model 1938TS (not the Cavalry carbine). The US cut down the Thompson sub-machine gun to make it shorter. The US designed a light, airborne tank in WW2 but it was never actually dropped from the air in combat. The artillery for the US Airborne troops was a 105mm Howitzer that was much smaller in size. The M3 Howitzer had a barrel that was shortned by 27 inches and it was mounted on the sleigh of the M1A2 recoil mechanism from the 75mm howitzer and fitted to the M2A1 carriage of the 75mm. Its charge had less powder and thus had a shorter range but some batteries in infantry division adopted it, also. Then there were new designs in knives, explosives, and other personal effects. The Germans had a pocket knife that the blade slide out (gravity activated not switch blade).

What is really the meaning of air cav?
"Air Cav" is short for "Air Cavalry." There are three divisions in the US Army that have Air Cavalry squadrons: the 10th Mountain Division, 82nd Airborne Division and 101st Airborne Division. The Air Cav squadron's function is reconnaissance--going out in front of the division main, finding the enemy and reporting where they are so the infantry and artillery units will know where to go to fight. Air Cav units use helicopters, dirt bikes, and other tools to help them get in and out quickly. They are all trained, proficient fighters but since they go downrange in groups of four or five they are also trained not to be seen because if they are found they will be killed.
Do you have a list of names of soldiers killed in Vietnam 1965 from Airborne 179?
The ARVN's may have had some regiments by that number; but not the US. The only US Army (Marines didn't use em) Airborne Divisions and Brigades in Vietnam were: 1. 82nd Abn 2. 173rd Abn 3. 101st Abn (Ambl) US Special Forces are not counted. The 101st Abn was technically an Airmobile Division in Vietnam. There was actually controversy in Vietnam on whether or not the 101st shoulder patch should be changed to read (on the tab) AIRMOBILE instead of AIRBORNE. As any active duty servicemember can tell you, they still read "Airborne."
What plane is currently used for parachuting?
airborne units deploy by parachute. during WW2 ther were four main airborne units in the U.S. 101st airborne division, 82d airborne division, 11th airborne division and 17th airborne division. there were other smaller airborne units. at present time (I think) only one airborne division is still on jump status, the 82d airborne division. during WW2 airborne units operated in Europe and the Pacific.....there were a number of combat jumps initiated by those airborne elements during WW2, Korea and, I believe, Viet nam and Grenada
