Charles Akins, of the 377th Security Police Squadron took this photograph of the remains of a 122mm rocket that destroyed the Base Chapel, during the Feb 18, 1968, TET Attack. |

To the front of this RB57E is a crater that was probably
made by a mortar round. It was definately a close call for the aircraft and anyone who was nearby at the time of impact. |
 |
This aircraft was not as lucky as the A-37 above. It sustained a direct hit from a rocket or mortar round and totally demolished it. |
 | This crater was made by a 122mm rocket or a mortar. |
