WASHINGTON ? More than 30 years after his death, an Air Force general has been exonerated of charges that he violated presidential restrictions on aerial bombing during the Vietnam War and that he ordered the falsification of records to conceal the missions.


John D. Lavelle was forced to retire in April 1972 at the rank of major general ? two stars below the rank he held as commander of air operations in Vietnam ? after being relieved of duty for ordering unauthorized airstrikes against North Vietnamese military targets.


He died in 1979.
