ARVN APC's361 viewsJohn LaDue Photo

Here's a photo I took of some ARVN APC's up in the Le Hong Phong forest. I asuume that I was flying escort for the Huey that's sitting in the middle. Note the "Twin Lakes" and sand dunes in the background. This was taken probably in June or July of 67. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say that on the Phan Thiet "Black Market", these APC's were probably described as "Low Mileage" and "No bullet holes". :-) I think that this was the only time I ever saw more than 1 or 2 of them together.
