Debt Of Blood Marks New North Vietnam Air War
U S jet fighters delivered the heaviest air raid of the Vietnam War as ground fighting intensified. A MIG shot down near the Chinese border and another about 50 miles south of it sparked vows of escalation. Marines held a 14-man ambush against 200 to 400 Viet Cong units, with napalm and air support prolonging the battle. South Vietnamese forces claimed a major victory near Saigon, while U.S. air power produced 135 million in strikes against targets in the North and South.
