Caption/Description

The Iraqi Air Force made a direct hit on Abadan's oil refinery, from Soviet-built MIGs. Iranian pilots retaliated in American-made Phantoms and bombed oil storage tanks at an electric power station and a nuclear research center. Black smoke filled the skies over the Persian Gulf and the war between Iran and Iraq continued.
