...Thailand, where it ferries supplies and ammunition to remote government outposts in the troublesome northeast. From Thailand, Air America also operates a helicopter rescue service that plucks downed U.S. flyers out of North Viet Nam and whisks them to safety. In South Viet Nam, Air America has become the aerial backbone of both the U.S. AID mission and the Vietnamese rural reconstruction program, ferrying as much as 6.2 million tons of cargo into isolated areas within a single month. At least 50 Air America air craft are regularly based at Saigon's Tan Son Nhut airport...

It was called Vaudeville of the Elements, Choreographer Alwin Nikolais' latest excursion into the twilight zones of modern dance...
...ever. Guam-based B-52s unloaded 300 tons of high explosives on the Mu Gia Pass infiltration route into South Viet Nam; Navy jets hit a SAM site near Vinh and sank 248 junks moving men and arms south by convoy. Whether the MIG commitment could partially turn that aerial tide remained to be seen...
