| A Bird Dog (call sign David 4) was hit by small arms fire as it took off from a strip at Chau Doc close to the border with Cambodia, about 90 miles west of Saigon. The aircraft’s engine was damaged and Maj Zahm crash-landed near the airstrip. Both men vacated the wrecked aircraft without a scratch and were picked up by a VNAF helicopter. |
