Marines Land Artillery and Jets at Da Nang During Vietnam Buildup
U S Marines have landed 8 inch howitzers and 105 mm artillery at Da Nang as part of a buildup to protect the airbase. A platoon of howitzers, a battery of 105s, and an 18 plane Phantom squadron arrived, amid ongoing air operations against Viet Cong targets. A nuclear weapons claim was denied by a Marine source. The mission follows earlier landings of Marine battalions and comes as Saigon faces a naval mutiny and political instability.
