Navy Jets Down Unknown Plane Near Thanh Hoa
Two U S Navy F4C Phantom jets from the Ranger 7th Fleet shot down an unidentified plane off the North Vietnamese coast about 180 miles northeast of Thanh Hoa after radar and visual contact. A second bogey was forced away by Coontz and nearby ships. A Ranger pilot credited with the kill, along with Ghost Riders Squadron 142, said the downed craft appeared prop-driven. In ground fighting, U S 101st Airborne and allied forces pressed toward a coffin-shaped area in the Central Highlands as North Vietnamese regulars resisted in close combat.
