This newspaper clipping recounts a harrowing combat search-and-rescue mission near Da Nang, in which A-1E Skyraider "Sandy" pilots flew dangerously low to protect an HH-3E Jolly Green Giant helicopter recovering a downed F-105 pilot. The photograph shows Lt. Col. John M. Carlson pointing to a bullet hole in his aircraft's windscreen, a testament to the intense ground fire these rescue escort crews faced on every mission.
