Historical Accuracy

In May 1969, AAC 545 introduced the Fin Retaining Clip for the AIM-9D/G/H Sidewinder, creating the LAU-7/A-1. In January 1971, AAC-537-1 introduced the Detent Holdback Pin, creating the LAU-7/A-2. By 1972, the launcher was re-designated as the LAU-7/A-3 and became the preeminent launcher used in Vietnam with over 2,800 produced, equipping A-4, A-6, F-4, F-8, and OV-10 aircraft throughout the conflict.
