The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

Tape Diary
Lt Dauphin shows off his 3" reel-to-reel GE tape recorder used to correspond with family in the States.  Operated on four "D" Cells (BA-30s) and still works even today.  To my everlasting regret, it arrived the morning after the long firefight to take command of the Duc Pho area.  Lt Don Keith and I were on the radio with fire missions for 48 hours continuous.
