...third time, Navy jets returned to the big oil-storage tanks outside the port of Haiphong, claimed afterward that cumulative destruction of the complex now stood at 90%. Though monsoon clouds hampered raids north of the Red River, American planes elsewhere in Ho Chi Minh-land pounded 41 smaller fuel depots, bridges, flak sites and more than 230 barges...
...four-plane flight that Kasler commands as part of the 354th Tactical Fighter Squadron claims to have destroyed or damaged 219 buildings, 66 barges, 53 railroad cars, 44 trucks, 36 fuel tanks, 28 bridges and 16 flak sites-a record for any such air unit. And, miraculously, in 72 missions Kasler has yet to be shot down-though statistically, every American airman is downed at least once by the time he has reached 60 missions. The Indianan has an explanation for that too. Says he: "The best way to survive is by being aggressive...
...when not involved in its programs or teaching 80 students at the festival's music school, is having a jolly good bash. Festival patrons have showered the musicians with champagne parties, shrimp boils at the yacht club, and enough pralines, hush puppies and fried pompano to fuel Her Majesty's navy. Last week, for those musicians who could tear themselves away from golf, water-skiing and deep-sea fishing, there was a lavish beach party with barbecued chicken, baked beans and 60 gallons of sangría, a bubbly mixture of wine, orange juice and club soda, which...
NASA scientists continue to glow over Gemini 10's space success, but key questions remain. Almost continuous debriefing of Astronauts John Young and Mike Collins has pinpointed but not solved the two major "gliches"-fuel shortage and eye watering-that almost snarled the threeday, record-setting flight...
Brute-Force Buttonhook. The fuel problem arose during Gemini 10's tricky fourth-orbit rendezvous with Agena 10. To determine the final thrust required for the interception, Young and Collins used data from the on-board radar, inertial guidance and computer system. In some as yet unknown way, the system produced a figure nearly 7 ft. per sec. greater than the figure radioed up from ground control. When Collins' own slide-rule tabulation agreed with the spacecraft guidance system, Command Pilot Young chose to go with the double-checked on-board answer...
