This silent highlight reel shows U.S. Air Force aircraft including F-105 Thunderchiefs and F-4 Phantoms making raids on North Vietnam. The beginning of the reel shows air strikes on enemy bridges and infrastructure as part of an effort to cut supplies to the Viet Cong and disrupt the North Vietnamese economy. At the 4:27 mark, air to air combat against the North Vietnamese Air Force is shown with several Migs taken out through the use of missiles and cannon fire. The most spectacular moment is at the 5:13 mark in the burn-in, with a close hit on a Mig. At 5:32 an NVA airfield is shown completely devastated from bomb hits. At 6 minutes, an American air base is shown with F-105s on the flight line.
