Four Marine battalions work around Vinh while heavy anti aircraft fire disrupts missions. The Navy flew 16 carrier missions from Kitty Hawk and Enterprise focusing on Dong Hoi roads and lines about 80 miles west of Hanoi. One A6 from Kitty Hawk failed to pull out and the two man crew likely perished. It marked the 10th plane lost over North Vietnam since resuming January 31 after a 37 day lull. Ground action slowed in South Vietnam with limited contact with Viet Cong. Operation White Wing near Bong Son and An Lao Valley yielded casualties and captures as the 1st Cavalry and allied units report Viet Cong losses across the area. South Korean and Vietnamese units also reported Viet Cong fatalities and detainees amid continued operations in Dak Lak and Ban Me Thuot regions.
