U S Expands Gunship Mission in Thailand for Laos Routes
Washington reports plans to add more gunships in Thailand for the Laos Ho Chi Minh trail campaign as U S forces scale back in Vietnam. A $56 million modification converts transports into gunships armed with heavy guns, with the fleet accounting for about two thirds of North Vietnamese trucks destroyed or damaged in Laos since November. Strong rains hinder the supply push, but Hanoi is expected to renew shipments in dry weather. American airpower may continue beyond troop withdrawals to counter artillery and truck traffic along the trail.
