Good timeline but not totally accurate for the times I was there, parts of 70-73, so probably similar errors for other periods. The most glaring is what is described as Operation Linebacker which actually was Operation Linebacker II. I flew the first Operation Linebacker missions in May 1972 and those missions ran thru October. They stopped to help the peace talks, but the talks went nowhere so Operation Linebacker II was launched in December. I'd rotated back home so didn't fly LBII, but we had crews from our squadron who did and we lost one of those crews on Dec 26.
