Regular High Explosive aerial bombs cleared jungle better than anything else, of course they usually left a good sized bomb crater there too. But, for 40 yards surrounding that crater, it would be open ground (all dirt)...no vegetation. Napalm was used as a tactical weapon when dropped from US jet aircraft, in conjunction with rockets and cannon fire. US Navy River Monitors also used flame throwing devices, again, in conjunction with the Monitor's forword turret, which housed a 40mm cannon.
