Christmas Across the World on a Quiet Night
The Christmas story spans continents from Vietnam to Berlin to Bethlehem. Pilots at Bien Hoa faced Cambodian missions while Berlin saw a quiet holiday with restricted passes.

President Nixon enjoyed football, turkey, and calls to Heath and Johnson, marking a varied Christmas.
