Uncle Sam's ugly faces.

Operation Linebacker II From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Christmas bombings" and "Christmas Day Bombing" Operation Linebacker II, sometimes referred to as the Christmas bombings, was a strategic bombing campaign conducted by the United States against targets in North Vietnam from December 18 to December 29, 1972, as part of the Vietnam War. More than 20,000 tons of ordnance was dropped on military and industrial areas in Hanoi and Haiphong and at least 1,624 civilians were killed. The operation was the final major military operation carried out by the U.S. during the conflict, and the largest bombing campaign involving heavy bombers since World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Linebacker_II
