Three Years Of War Honors The B52s In Vietnam
B52 bombers mark three years in Vietnam with no combat losses while delivering heavy blows to the enemy. Their early start included a 1965 coast raid with mixed results, yet commanders credit them with preventing attacks on Khe Sanh and stalling large monsoon offensives. North Vietnamese troop buildup and new tactics helped lift the bomber image as radar guided strikes improve accuracy and shorten launch-to-target times.
