This is the remains of a B-52.
This is the biggest American strato-fortress which had been refitted six
times. Each plane could carry about thirty metric tons of bombs and was
flown by six pilots. The United States has about 400 B-52s, but they
used 192 of these bombers over Vietnam. Our armed forces and our people
shot down a total of 68 B-52s, and
Hanoi shot down twenty-three of them itself.
This particular plane here was
on its way to
Hanoi on a bombing
mission, but our armed forces and villains shot it down in Vinh
Phi. This
so-called supersonic strato-fortress, considered the main striking force
of the American air force, failed to intimidate us and ended up in the
mud. This particular plane had been refitted seven times, and each time
it was fitted with more modern gears and weapons.
