Although not generally reported to the men in the field by name, high ranking US officers believed that some NVA generals may have been killed during B-52 strikes.

Five were killed, during Operation Baby Lift; the evacuation of South Vietnam, in 1975. The largest US Air Force transport at that time, the C-5 Galexy, had filled up with women & children evacuee's. It crashed during take off, killing most people aboard.
