<DIV>Hi; I am corresponding with an author writing an article about the
"Battle of Dong Ha, Apr 29, 1968", for <STRONG>VIETNAM MAGAZINE</STRONG>. He
says a C-130 saved their bacon one night by dropping a lot of aerial
flares.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone out there have any information on the plane, unit or crew? Send me
an e-mail at <A href="mailto:dicksell@aol.com">dicksell@aol.com</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This was after my tour at Nha Trang in Blackbird MC-130's in Sep 66-Aug
67. I don't know if it was ours, or a Brown Betty -130.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
