My dad was the crew chief for Colonel Jack Broughton when he strafed Haiphong Harbour. Dad destroyed the camera film as soon as Col. Broughton landed at Takli and taxied in. He gave him a salute, shook his hand and watched the AP's escort the Colonel to his barracks and within 24 hours Colonel Broughton was in California. Broughton wrote a small book entitled Thud Ridge.
