Description
Xuan Loc area, South Vietnam. 1967-12. A Flying Crane helicopter (either a Sikorsky CH-54 or S-64 Tarhe) successfully uplifts a crippled and stripped M113. In the first attempt the crane was overloaded and members of the US 11th Armoured Cavalry Regiment (11ACR), had to further strip back the M113 to lighten the load.
