B52s Hit A Shau Valley Amid Quiet Hanoi Ambiguity
U S fighter bombers attacked North Vietnamese positions in the A Shau valley for a second day as Thieu and Abrams touted an allied operation. Reports said only reconnaissance troops were inside the valley with larger forces to follow, while officials avoided detail. About 2,000 American ground troops and 10,000 South Vietnamese forces were reportedly committed on paper, with options for a larger push or Laos extension depending on reconnaissance.

He cited a GAO report showing 127 unresolved deficiencies per aircraft and warned that wing cracks, landing gear, braking, radar, and automatic flight control systems remain faulty, risking mission capability and cargo payload.
