Bob,

I remember that I flew with 2nd flight pilots that day. From what I wrote in my diary I think we only had only nine ships flyable that day. Between maintenance and combat damage we were having a hard time getting enough ships for the day's missions. I remember Stoney talking about it to the peter-pilots and us.

That was one of the reasons we ended up being pulled out of the valley. The 1st Brigade going to An Khe and us not having enough ships to cover support. I need to contact Jack's wife and ask for a copy of his orders from that day. He was going to fax me a copy of them but never got the chance. Maybe with that I could put together a better picture of what happened that day. Later.
