  • Caption from LIFE. "From the downed YP3 in the background, the wounded gunner, Sergeant Owens, races to Yankee Papa 13, where Farley waits in the doorway." Larry Burrows—Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images

    ‎ ‎
    "From the downed YP3 in the background, the wounded gunner, Sergeant Owens, races to Yankee Papa 13, where Farley waits in the doorway."

    "'See what you can do for that pilot!'"

    ""The Vietcong, dug in along the tree line, were just waiting for us to come into the landing zone," Burrows reported. "We were all like sitting ducks and their raking crossfire was murderous. Over the intercom system one pilot radioed Colonel Ewers, who was in the lead ship: 'Colonel! We're being hit.' Back came the reply: 'We're all being hit. If your plane is flyable, press on.'
    "We did, hurrying back to a pickup point for another load of troops. On our next approach to the landing zone, our pilot, Capt. Peter Vogel, spotted Yankee Papa 3 down on the ground. Its engine was still on and the rotors turning, but the ship was obviously in trouble. 'Why don't they lift off?" Vogel muttered over the intercom. Then he set down our ship nearby to see what the trouble was. One of the crew of YP3 came lurching across the field toward us, followed immediately by another. They were the co-pilot and the gunner. Both had been wounded and had to be helped aboard."
