Air Force strikes Vietnam steel plant as Prowess claimed
Twenty F-4 Phantoms from Thailand carried out a dusk raid on a North Vietnamese steel plant. Laser bombs hit open hearth furnaces while unguided bombs hit storage areas, with reconnaissance photos later showing demolished surfaces and storage zones. Air Force officials said steel production capacity was crippled, while reports of enemy losses were unconfirmed. Navy jets and B 52 bombers also conducted Saturday attacks south of Hanoi and along the My Chanh River defense line near Hue.
