Stars & Stripes, 22 April 1968 — "160 Missions Pound N. Vietnam": Mike underlined the passage about the "coastal area between Vinh and Dong Hoi" and starred the weather paragraph noting the monsoon was ending and strikes expected to increase. Vinh airfield was approximately 24 miles from Jouett's SAR station. [Stars & Stripes]
From Mike's letter, 25 Apr 1968: "Vinh is an airfield about 24 miles from us. We can usually see the explosions from the air raids there on a clear night." [Letter]
