Navy F-4 Phantoms and A-4 Skyhawks attack the Thanh Hoa Bridge
(Dragon's Jaw) in North Vietnam. One hundred and four pilots
were shot down within a seventy five square mile vicinity of
this infamous target. The communists used the bridge to push
Russian and Chinese suppies southward to the front by rail, truck
and foot. It stood for almost ten years against every conceivable
type of ordnance. For the North Vietnamese, it assumed a prominence
that approached mythical status and became a symbol for the North
of their cause and detmination. It was finally destroyed by smart
bombs dropped by Skyhawks, covered by F-4 Phantoms.
