| During the Tet Offensive the Citadel at Hué was captured by enemy troops and many hundreds of Vietnamese civilians were executed for collaborating with the Americans. The small airfield near the city was attacked by rocket and mortar fire and eight FAC aircraft were destroyed on the ground during the day. The O-2s had only been detached to Hué a few days before the attack took place. |
