I don't quite know what to say; Joe.
This picture, if it is of a US Marine helicopter, is beyond tragic and exceedingly saddening.

Thanks for sharing the "rare" Marine combat footage from WWII, Korea and the Vietnam war SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. The USMC has always been good at combat photography. I remember learning long ago that the resaon the USMC seemed to have most of the color combat photos from WWII was they "cornered the market on defense department color film in the lat 1930's.
