    Article Ethnic strife

    While posted to Cam Lo, I stood daytime watch occasionally and had a good view of the goings on around that place mostly related to the open air market. Besides the Vietnamese who lived in Cam Lo, a few km away was a community of H'mong. I'm by no means an ethnologist, but they were clearly a...

    Memories Perspective

    After first tour in Viet Nam, we were fresh in at a west coast base waiting for leave orders. One of our number heard food was good at a nearby Naval base, so six of us loaded up in an old 'battleship Buick' for a decent dinner. No trouble getting in. "Sure! You guys load up!" NCO at the door...

    The NOH-6A (Night Observation Helicopter) was also called the Hughes 500P ("P" for Penetrator). It was a special version build for the CIA and was optimized for nighttime observations. Therefore it got all kind of IR/Nighttime observation devices (like for example a FLIR). Besides that it also...

    Video Vietnam war helicopter aviation: ACH-47 "Guns A Go-Go"

    I think I'll use the opportunity to resurrect the old series of threads about helicopter aviation of the Vietnam war era that I had started over at MP.net years ago. So, without further ado "Guns A Go-Go": The ACH-47 was a try to evaluate if CH-47 "Chinook" helicopters could be used as...
