Bombers in Thailand Renew Strikes on Ho Chi Minh Trail
U S bombers based in Thailand have intensified attacks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos since the North Vietnam bombing halt. Phantom F-4s from Udorn Kajtak and Takli fly nightly and daily, often returning within an hour, targeting dirt roads and jungle paths vital to North Vietnamese supply lines, with bases at Korat and U Tapao contributing large bomber barrages. The activity reflects a tripling of bombing since freed from North Vietnam raids, while crews face Pentagon restrictions on discussing mission details.
