Air War Near Haiphong Deepens Vietnam Conflict Reach
U S planes pressed the air war toward Haiphong 12 miles from the port and hit the Yong Bi power station near Haiphong and a highway bridge north of the city. A C130 crash at Tuy Hoa wounded no reported U S fatalities while two MiG 17s briefly approached before retreating. Four construction workers held by Viet Cong near a rock quarry were rescued with one Dutch guard killed in a firefight led by Lt. George Steinberg and his men. The incident followed U S authorization discussions on returning fire across borders into Cambodia and Laos as commanders debated broader engagement options.
