Which side controlled the most important territory for the entire war?

This wasn't a war of territory. It was a war of body counts...a war of attrition. However, the communists were in North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; whilst the allies (or at least the US) were in South Vietnam with covert operators in Laos and Cambodia. So, based upon that distribution...the communists might be the ones covering the most land.

Did Air Force personal fight in the jungles of Vietnam?

This was the 20th century; in which the Air Force did Air Force jobs, the Navy did Navy jobs, and the Marines & Army did Marine/Army work. TODAY; each branch of service has their own "bells and whistles department." In Vietnam, with the exception of some very specialized and/or covert operations (or even secret experiments) the USAF fought in the skies over North & South Vietnam (and Cambodia and Laos); unless of course their pilots and aircrewmen were shot down...THEN THEY FOUGHT IN THE JUNGLE.


What did happen in Cambodia during Cold War?

The Cold War was characterized by a general fear of wide-spread Communist encroachment on democratic (or western allied) countries. Since the communist government of North Vietnam, supported by both China and the Soviet Union, was working to take over democratic South Vietnam, the general sentiment of international relations prompted a swift military halt to the movement. This would stop what some in the U.S. Government called a "Domino Effect," or one nation after another falling to Communism. Thus, the sentiment of the Cold War brought about the perceived need for military intervention in Vietnam.
