Description
-
Original caption: "Saigon - Bombers Strike - Air Force B-52 Stratoforts flying miles above their targets unload tons of bombs on enemy stronghold and heavily fortified positions, softening them up for friendly ground troops. The B-52s have increased the number of their daily raids, hitting as many as six enemy targets in a single day. The eight-engine Air Force bombers have impaired the enemy's ability to build-up and launch ground offensives in South Vietnam." A US Air Force jet flying above the clouds and dropping bombs.
