Summary

Description

"Perilous Perch: A small observation helicopter attached to the 11th Marines takes off on a scout mission in the Da Nang area. The machine gunner, Army Private First Class John Lindemuth, 20 (Fort Wayne, Indiana) actually rides outside the canopy during flights in which speeds reach more than 80 knots. The tiny helicopter also carries a Marine air observer capable of calling in area artillery on suspected enemy targets (official USMC photo by Sergeant W. W. Cheeley)."
