Minutes later, its tail skids carved a high rooster tail of dust in the wind-slicked silt of Rogers Dry Lake in California. The plane stopped. "Well." said Test Pilot Joe Walker as he threw off the switches in the cockpit, "there's that one for today."

As the first light of dawn slanted down through the thick forest in the district of Ben Cat, the truck column came to a dusty halt, 600 troops of the Vietnamese 5th Division poured over the tail gates and fanned out across the harvested rice fields and rubber plantations to flush out Communists. Typically, the Viet Cong faded away...
