A page from the history book 'Pararescue 50 Years Plus' (1996) recounting the loss of HH-53 'Jolly 54' and its five-man crew, including Master Sgt. Paul L. Jenkins and Staff Sgt. Michael F. Dean, shot down by anti-aircraft fire over Laos on 30 June 1970 while attempting to rescue a downed OV-10 pilot. The account also traces the decades-long postwar effort - aided by a former North Vietnamese officer's testimony - that ultimately located and recovered the crew's remains in the early 1990s.
