Operation Linebacker II
Operation ''Linebacker II'' was a US Seventh Air Force and US Navy Task Force 77 aerial bombing campaign, conducted against targets in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) during the final period of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The operation was conducted from 18–29 December 1972, leading to several of informal names such as "The December Raids" and "The Christmas Bombings".〔McCarthy and Allison, p. 3.〕 Unlike the Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Linebacker interdiction operations, ''Linebacker II'', would be a "maximum effort" bombing campaign to "destroy major target complexes in the Hanoi and Haiphong areas which could only be accomplished by B-52s."〔Michel III p. 271〕〔Smith and Herz pp. 224–225〕 It saw the largest heavy bomber strikes launched by the US Air Force since the end of World War II. ''Linebacker II'' was a modified extension of the Operation Linebacker bombings conducted from May to October, with the emphasis of the new campaign shifted to attacks by B-52 Stratofortress heavy bombers rather than smaller tactical fighter aircraft.
