Vietnam Copter Pilots Battle Fear And Fire
W C Barry Ross of Temple California flies a bubble-nosed helicopter with Canadian Sgt. Abraham Cooke and Capt. William Norton near the Cambodian border. They retry a dangerous mission after a B 52 strike draws in North Vietnamese fighters. A rocket propelled grenade hits Ross’s craft as they crash land. They escape the flames and return to Norton’s helicopter. Cooke is wounded and awarded the Purple Heart.
