...Chan mountain range, 80 miles northwest of Hanoi. The weather was clear, visibility good, and the jets dumped three tons of bombs on the site. But the airmen had to brave a murderous curtain of ground fire from mounted .50-cal. machine guns and 37-mm. cannon. Risner's jet and that of another pilot were hit. Desperately, they headed southeast, hoping to reach the South China Sea, where Risner had bailed out last spring...
...death rained down from the sky. On Sept. 14, Canberra bombers of the Indian Air Force blew up a two-block area with thousand-pound bombs and demolished a factory complex on the city's outskirts. Kasur was hit almost daily by Indian jets pumping 20-mm. shells into anything that moved. An estimated 1,200 dead lie buried in the ruins...

Clicking away with a modified Hasselblad 70-mm. reflex camera and a 35-mm. camera, Cooper and Conrad photographed the moon, the eye of Hurricane Doreen east of Hawaii, and the zodiacal light above the horizon just after twilight and just before dawn-gaining invaluable information for meteorologists and astronomers. They sighted and photographed the firings of two Minutemen missiles, launched to coincide with Gemini's passover. They took infra-red measurements of volcanoes, land masses...
