SPECIAL
DELIVERY--Helicopters, supposed to be able to land on a dime,
found they couldn't touch down on narrow hilltops in the Central
Vietnam coastlands, but that didn't stop them from delivering
right on the money. Engineers blasted drop areas clear and the
giant Chinook choppers dropped their soldiers of the 5th Battalion
7th Cavalry Regiment to participate in operation Thayer II some
15 miles southwest of Bong Son, which is some 300 miles northwest
of Saigon.
