Sure, sure, the AF lies...

Be sure to document that somewhere.

Day 5 was against heavily-defended Haiphong Harbor. No losses. Few strategic targets were left in Hanoi.

Day 6 to Day 11: 4 losses, almost 400 bomber sorties.

No strategic targets left. 500 rail interdictions had taken place, 372 pieces of rolling stock and three million gallons of petroleum products were destroyed, and 80 percent of North Vietnam’s electrical power production capability had been eliminated.

NVN had been forced to return to negotiations; all POWs were released in Feb 1973.
