Attack Aug 7 Declares Heavy Losses Over Hanoi And Delta
On August 7 United States forces reported a record loss of seven aircraft in one day over the Communist nation near Hanoi with two Thunderchiefs shot down 50 and 60 miles north of the capital. Reliable sources say a gunship killed five civilians and wounded 15 in Can Tho during a government operation aided by American aircraft. In ground fighting a large Communist force retreated from a 1st Air Cavalry unit in the Central Highlands near the Cambodian border as air strikes continued through the night leaving U.S. forces to pursue the retreating enemy.
