Airlift Requested as Viet Cities Isolated by Viet Cong
Saigon called for a Berlin type airlift to six major Vietnamese cities cut off by the Viet Cong signaling government inability to counter the stranglehold. More than 600 U.S. Marines landed at Qui Nhon to heighten security and deter attacks like the Da Nang raid that killed one American and destroyed $5 million in planes. Do Xuan Hien, a 29 year old saboteur, said the unit was trained for the mission as Vietnamese forces battled a Communist offensive in the central highlands. U.S. air strikes knocked out two North Vietnamese airfields at Vinh and Don Noi and hit the Na Son area while leaflets urged opposition to Hanoi.
