Re: Air Support at Ia Drang
From Moore's book.
On Gunships: P68, 2nd paragraph:
"...and Crandalls 4 Gunships guarding our flanks."
On ARA: P122, 1st Paragraph:
".....and with six helicopter's plus the battery comanders we where going through ammo in a hurry."
On other helicopter's: the chinnoks didn't fly into X-ray until after the battle. and the leader of the 229th was, I belive, Major Bruce Crandall.
