Description
An M48 tank with a red flag is parked as an M50 Ontos fires its guns. Marines take cover in sandbag dugout pens. Marines stand at the top of stairs as the camera zooms into an OV10 aircraft. A Marine holds a handset radio to his ear as two other Marines sit and point at the sky. An OV10 maneuvers in and out over fields. The OV10 dives and fires a rocket into a field. An A4 plane dives and drops napalm in the field and climbs out. This procedure repeats several times. An OV10 flies low and fires a rocket and climbs out. A marine talks into a handset radio as the OV10 repeats the procedure several times. Marines load and fire an M101 Howitzer.
