Why did US bombing of the North backfire?
Who said it backfired? The Northerners were determined to defend their airspace with their AAA sites, SAM sites, and MiG 17, 19, and 21 jet intercepters...the USAF & USN jets were determined to bomb them back "into the stone age..." to quote USAF General Curtis LeMay in 1965.
