Last week, in retaliation, the U.S. mounted the biggest air strike of the war against the most important of the two MIG bases that had not yet been bombed. Navy and Air Force jets rolled in five times to smash the base at Phuc Yen, northwest of Hanoi, turning the sky into a tapestry of fireballs. Later, Marine planes from Danang ventured farther north than they normally do to make an unusual night raid on Phuc Yen. The Communists filled in many of the bomb craters overnight, but U.S. planes were back the next day to chew out more...
