Operation Linebacker (may 9, 1972 – oct 23, 1972)
Description:
This is when the U.S. got mad that North Vietnam and the Vietcong were beating them so they decided to bully them using massive B-52's to drop tons of bombs on North Vietnam. It was a major U.S. success because they hit a lot of targets and only 33 B-52's were shot down. This reassured North Vietnam that the U.S. can bully you with planes.Added to timeline:
