When B-52s Ruled the Skies — The Bombing Campaign That Forced Peace

In December 1972, the roar of engines shattered the night over Hanoi. The world’s most powerful bomber, the American B-52, took to the skies in one of the most intense air campaigns of the Vietnam War — Operation Linebacker II, known to history as the Christmas Bombings. For eleven relentless days, wave after wave of bombers struck military targets deep inside North Vietnam. It was shock and awe before the term existed.

This is the untold story of the mission that changed everything. Despite heavy losses and global outrage, the campaign forced North Vietnam back to the peace table — ending years of stalemate. The men who flew those missions faced enemy fire, political backlash, and the weight of history itself. What they accomplished remains one of the most controversial and decisive moments of the entire war.
