U S Plans B52 Cut In Vietnam
The United States will cut its B52 bomber force in Indochina by about one third next year. Fifty one B52s in Thailand will be returned to form the 486th Bomb Squadron at Carswell AFB Texas by March 31 1972. The reduction follows Nixon's policy to scale back involvement in Indochina and lowers sorties from a peak of 1800 monthly in 1968 to about 1000 monthly since last September.
