In ten waves averaging six planes each, the eight-engine jets hit the valley with 500 tons of explosives during a 24-hour period and kept coming back throughout the week.

A band of ten North Korean soldiers had ambushed the truck 1 mile south of the Demilitarized Zone, killing two American and two South Korean soldiers.
