Background on this shot is that as the guerrilla/rebels became more frustrated their demands on the authorities to ensure their co-operation became more bizarre and menacing. This drop was to ensure that the village elder of this settlement kept his head, yep you read that correctly.
The list of items in this load included thousands of Tampax,(not a lass in sight) pots, pans, heaters (temp there was in the 35*C+). The Army Air Dispatch guys worked their butts off and no doubt saved several lives as a result of their efforts. Damn shame that we were SO inaccurate that a number of loads fell into mine fields.
