Operation Linebacker II was an aerial bombing campaign by the United States Seventh Air Force and United States Naval Task Force 77 against targets in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) during the final period of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The operation took place from December 18 to 29, 1972, and was given several unofficial names, such as "December Raids" and "Christmas Bombings".
Unlike the interception missions of Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Linebacker, Linebacker II was to be a "maximum effort" bombing campaign to "destroy major target complexes in the Hanoi and Haiphong areas, which could only be accomplished by B-52s." The largest US Air Force heavy bomber strikes since the end of World War II took place here. Linebacker II was a modified continuation of Operation Linebacker's bombing campaign from May to October, with the new campaign's focus shifting to B-52 attacks rather than smaller tactical fighters.
