This 1970 Air Force Times article recounts the remarkable survival of Captain Laurence C. Johnson, who fell from a C-130 during a nighttime flare mission over Southeast Asia when his parachute failed to open properly. Rescued at dawn with the help of an A-1 Skyraider spotter and a 'Jolly Green Giant' helicopter, his story illustrates the life-saving partnership between Air Force rescue crews during the Vietnam War.
