Abstract (displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
David Taylor's description of this photo: "Photo taken in DaNang in the spring of 1969 at Marble Mountain Marine Corps helicopter base. I am standing of front of my trusty steed a (CH-53A.) I was a 1st Lt. At the time soon to be promoted to Captain. I had taken the aircraft to DaNang to pick up some parts. I was a test pilot in addition to my regular duties and occassionaly had to go to DaNang to get parts from group or wing supply to keep the aircraft flying. You have my flight suit and flight boots I am wearing in your inventory. I would have been 24 years of age at the time of the photo. Photo taken by my co-pilot Bob Ryan, a Notre Dame graduate who was later killed flying a 53. I was probably a veteran of about 450 combat missions at this point in my tour, which culminated in 700 missions."
