Record B52 bombers hit 27 strikes during Tet truce
American B52 bombers carried out 27 strikes inside South Vietnam as the Viet Cong Tet Lunar New Year truce began. One American was killed and three wounded near Saigon. U.S. and allied air forces backed the operations with 176 fighter-bombing runs, mostly in the Central Highlands, while the Viet Cong violated the ceasefire in early hours killing seven South Vietnamese troops. The day marked the most B52 raids in a single day since 1968 and occurred ahead of a reported potential offensive timed to President Nixon's visit to Peking.
