General Note: 8 Personality: Dickey Chapelle's lifelong quest was to always be where the action was, Vietnam included.
10 Fighting Forces: 1965 would be the opening chapter for a newly formed VC regiment, the 273rd.
12 Bases and Installations: At Cu Chi, paved streets lined the once remote rest and refit grounds of the Viet Cong.
50 Arsenal: The one-two punch provided by the Quad and Duster was an adaptation left over from World War II
58 Book Reviews: Time provides fresh perspective on the 'other war' in Vietnam- the American advisory effort from start to finish.
18 Allies From Down Under: Their numbers may have been small, but the Aussie advisers in Vietnam were on hand for 10 years- and for many a tough combat operation.
26 Troubled Apostle of Victory: John Paul Vann, military man and civilian adviser, was a legendary figure as contradictory as the war itself.
34 War's Bitter Finale: In the confusion and panic came moments of honor, others of seeming betrayal. Heroes and innocents were left behind.
42 Double Ambush on Route 13: Not one, but two ambushes would greet the deploying armored cavalry of the US 1st Infantry in a test of strength along National Route 13
