The article says:
One of his nation’s most colorful leaders, Mr. Ky served as prime minister of South Vietnam, which was backed by the United States, in the mid-1960s. He had been commander of South Vietnam’s air force when he assumed the post in 1965, the same year American involvement in the war escalated.When I think of Nguyen Cao Ky it is of him standing on the wing of an A-1H SKYRAIDER of the Viet-namese Air Force. And, of course he was colorful—he was a fighter pilot!
He was known as a playboy partial to purple scarves, upscale nightclubs and beautiful women. In power during some of the war’s most tumultuous times, he was a low-key but sometimes ruthless leader.
May he rest in peace.
