...aircraft parked wingtip to wingtip on aprons. The Hawk is a killer at up to 45,000 ft. and at a distance of 22 miles, homes in on enemy aircraft by radar. The dispatch of the Hawks was merely an extra precaution against the possibility that some 50 MIG-15s and MIG-17s-a gift from Red China-sitting still unused at Phucyen airbase near Hanoi, might be called into action. One 18-missile Hawk battery flew out of Okinawa, was in position at Danang little more than 24 hours after being alerted...

They entertain only infrequently, take off for the Los Angeles beaches every chance they...

In the best cloak and dagger tradition, to lend credence to a cover story that the bombings were by pilots defecting from Castro's air force, a few .30-cal. bullets were fired into an old Cuban B26. A pilot took off in the crate and landed it at Miami with an engine needlessly feathered and a cock-and-bull story that he had attacked the airfields. A reporter noted that...
