Earlier this month, he and his helicopter crew of three were shot down by Pathet Lao gunfire while on a mission to the Meo country. Wasting no time, Nagle and his helicopter crew grabbed a survival kit and headed for the cover of the jungle.

Dorothy Lamour will remain pretty much on the ground in a brief, nostalgic sarong; Joan (Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys!) Collins is the chase cake this time...
...sells for about $8, and a knife-fork-spoon combination that clips together costs 70?. A length of nylon line is handy for lashing bedrolls and tents. Flashlights and spare batteries should be packed, as well as a small kerosene lamp, books, matches in a waterproof case, first-aid kit, candle, knife, hatchet, bucket, small trench shovel, mosquito repellent, aluminum foil, toilet paper, foul-weather clothing, cameras, binoculars, a good topographical map (available at park and forest headquarters), handy nature guides and a Thermos...
