Content note: A drawing of aircraft bombing a bridge and vehicles and of a screaming casualty in an explosion, as issued. This object is shown as it was published. Why
Các cơ sở quân sự miền Bắc bị hủy diệt (Many North Military Installations Have Been Destroyed)
A three-panel red-and-black drawing. The first panel shows aircraft with U.S. star markings bombing a bridge and vehicles, the second shows an explosion over figures in the jungle, and the third shows a smiling woman and two children under blossoms and doves. The captions read: military bases of the North destroyed, secret zones of the South dispersed, and the free South of the Republic of Vietnam. The tell is the contrast sequence, force shown as destruction in two panels and the alternative shown as peaceful family life in the third.
