In one, the North's rocketeers fired 24 Russianmade 122-mm. projectiles at Danang Airbase, destroying one F-4 Phantom jet and two spotter planes and heavily damaging five other craft. But there were no allied deaths, and within hours the runways were repaired and the base fully operative again. In another attack, some 5,000 Communists tried to overrun two U.S. forward positions in the Que Son Valley south of Danang. They were...
