Skyraiders strike Viet Cong huts in delta mission

A Vietnamese pilot released 500 pound bombs in a controlled dive, destroying huts and causing multiple casualties as U.S. adviser Capt. James T. Harwood guided him. The mission, part of 14,343 sorties in four months, ended with the aircraft returning to Bien Hoa base.
