Hi;

I'm writing an article about the effort to destroy the Thanh Hoa Bridge in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was nicknamed the Dragon's Jaw Bridge. Does anyone have photos of the bridge before and after it's destruction? You will receive proper credit in the article.

Thanks;

Joe F.

No wonder it was hard to destroy. Very bad psychology. If you were a pilot being briefed would you want to fly into "Dragons Jaws". They should have named it "Happy Valley" or "Free Beer" or "Baywatch Bridge"if they wanted to get motivated crews to attack.
