Cambodian pilot escapes after palace bombing in Lon Nol era
Cambodian Air Force Captain So Petra used a 128 fighter to bomb Lon Nol's palace killing at least 36. He reportedly fled toward Khmer Rouge territory over Kompong Cham and is believed to have landed in areas controlled by Khmer Rouge and North Vietnamese allies. Petra, linked to Princess Norodom Botum Bopha, was suspected by some sources of anger over training failure. Lon Nol framed the incident as a Communist plot to topple his government.
