When you think back on WWII, Korea and Vietnam, which aircraft first comes to mind when you think about each of those wars? So it would be three different aircraft.

WWII = C-47
Korea = C-47
Viet Nam = AC-47

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

I'll go with two each:

WWII: Bf109, B-24
Korea: F-86, Sea Fury (you had to know that was coming) :roll:
Vietnam: UH-1, F-105

Interesting that there are at least two types, as has been pointed out, that served significantly in all three wars. Any others besides C-47 and A-26?

Didn't the T-6 serve all three or did it only serve WWII and Korea.

If one stretches things and counts the pre-US-involvement conflict in what was then French Indochina, maybe the Texan shows up there...France certainly used armed T-6s as COIN strike birds in Algeria, maybe the Armee de l'Air also operated then in Indochina. They certainly used A-26s there, but so did the USAF later on so that's moot. Did the Aeronavale use Corsairs in Indochina during that period BTW? If so, the U-bird qualifies too...
