Navy introduces one ton Fat Albert bomb in air war
In Saigon the U S Navy announced a delay in introducing the one ton Fat Albert bomb, an improved Walleye television guided munition used since last month. Capt Marland Townsend of the Kitty Hawk said Fat Albert scored direct hits reducing risk to American troops, with four bridges ditched and two supply buildings destroyed by a single bomb. The weapon, named by crews, carries a nose camera to direct the weapon to its target. US pilots conducted 270 vertical air strikes into North Vietnam as Hanoi radio claimed several dikes in Hai Duong Province were bombed. In South Vietnam heavy fighting continued on the northern front near Quang Tri, with 14 North Vietnamese troops killed and several South Vietnamese wounded or killed in helicopter crashes and artillery exchanges.
