  Widely known as "Dien Bien Phu in the Air", the campaign lasting from December 18 to 30, 1972, was against US air raids with the deployment of strategic B-52 bombers - the most modern aircraft of the time - over Hanoi and neighboringcities and provinces. As many as 81 US aircraft, including 34 B-52, were shot down during the campaign, and this subsequently led to the signing of the Paris Accords in early 1973 on the restoration of peace in Vietnam./.
