Description
-
Original caption: "Aerial vertical view of Hai Duong Bridge that was destroyed by USS Kitty Hawk, Airwing embarked operating in the south China sea during Westpac deployment. Aircraft from the attack aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk cut the Hai Duong rail and highway bridge, clearly dropping two spans into the water, on Apr. 17. This bridge has long been considered a major transportation artery in North Vietnam and was a much sought-after target. Weather has hampered attacks in the past; however, improved weather conditions allowed A6 bombers and F4 fighter/bombers to launch a surprise attack Sunday." Aerial photo of a bombed bridge.
