Ranch Hands Defoliate Jungles Over Vietnam Skies
A small group of American airmen dubbed the ranch hands fly low over Vietnamese jungle in C-123 planes spraying weed killer to strip Viet Cong concealment. They insist they are not killers as Viet Cong propaganda portrays them. Maj. L. W. Larry Hay-Chapman notes their unit has suffered many hits but none lost, with crew members claiming two-time volunteering for Vietnam and the Ranch hands.
