US Jets Hit North Vietnam In Third Day Of Air Assault
Hundreds of U S jets bombarded North Vietnam on a third day of sustained strikes ordered by President Nixon. Aircraft returned to carrier bases off the Vietnam coast and to Da Nang, Ubon, and Udorn to refuel and rearm for a fourth day of attacks. The Paris talks were canceled, with Hanoi reporting a downed U S plane and warning of delays in POW releases. Viet Cong attacked Duc Hue, wounding ten Americans as helicopters were shot down. Laos saw gains by North Vietnamese and Laotian forces, expanding the Ho Chi Minh Trail reach.
