U S Bomb Supply Tight At Times During Vietnam War
U S production of 750-pound bombs halted for six to seven months after the Korean War and resumed last summer. Officials say stockpiles tightened during late strikes, but no missions were scrubbed. Output of 500 and 750 pound bombs restarted in March 1965, with larger 1000 and 2000 pound bombs also dropped.
