B-52 Bombers vs. Vietnamese Defenses: What Really Happened in Operation Linebacker II?

🕰️ Welcome to WAR UNFOLDED — Where history comes alive through rare and forgotten footage.

In December 1972, the United States launched Operation Linebacker II, the most intense aerial bombing campaign of the Vietnam War. For twelve days and nights, waves of B-52 strategic bombers targeted North Vietnam in an effort to force a political breakthrough.

The B-52 was designed to be untouchable — flying high, heavily defended, and supported by electronic warfare. Yet over Hanoi and Haiphong, something unexpected happened. Vietnamese air defenses adapted, learned, and struck back. Bombers were hit. Crews were lost. Wreckage fell into cities that had already endured years of war.

This channel is dedicated to uncovering the untold stories of World War II, the Vietnam War, and modern conflicts that shaped our world.
Every video you watch is crafted from archival combat reels, restored footage, and detailed research — bringing you closer to the soldiers, the machines, and the moments that defined the 20th century.
