Marines in the truck are a recon team that 1stLt.
Henry B. "Hank" Lamb (lower right) has just extracted under fire.

at approx. 2,000 feet. One engine was taken
off line and the remaining engine topped by adjusting its fuel control
to achieve maximum exhaust gas temperature. The process was then
repeated for the second engine. Our Cpl. Bert Miller was assisting
Sgt. Culver.

Sgt. Al Glover is the nubian prince standing in our
