U S Pilots Describe Raid On Bridge Near Hanoi
Thirteen Navy pilots from the carrier Independence recount a bold July 14 strike on Tri-Dong bridge 40 miles southwest of Hanoi. Despite heavy anti aircraft fire the crew returned safely after two Intruders dropped a 2000 pound bomb, destroying a main span and sending it into the river. The pilots reported clear visibility, minimal enemy response, and noted two crew members were later rescued after bailing out near Communist-held jungle.
