5 MIGS DOWNED
Raids On Hanoi
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SAIGON, May 21.
American jets shot down five more MiG interceptors in raids over Hanoi yesterday, bringing the number to nine in the last two days, an American spokesman reported, according to United Press International. American planes also caught and bombed 31 MiGs sitting on an airfield near the North Vietnamese capital yesterday. In Friday’s attacks, American planes dodged through missiles and other anti-air-craft fire and tangled with Communist MiGs to bomb a key power plant only 1.1 miles from the heart of Hanoi and also hit a sprawling army supply base five miles to the south. There was no immediate word on American losses, if any, in the raids on Hanoi yesterday.
