On-again Off-again F111s Resume Strikes Over North Vietnam
SAIGON AP The U S Command approved the F111 fighter-bombers after six days of tests and sent them on missions over North Vietnam. Two strikes were flown overnight as about 50 swing wing jets arrived at Takhli Air Base. The F111s attacked an air defense center near Dien Bien Phu and a railroad siding between Hanoi and China. The command had briefly withdrawn them after four missions last week when one jet vanished with two crew. Weather tied to Typhoon Lorna canceled planned strikes Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
