Description: The 121st AHC's 1969 Yearbook states that their transports put troops into LZs outside of Can Tho all day and that evening they bagn to resupply outposts scattered throughout the 42nd DTA. It was during one of these resupply flights that Tiger 782 was downed by enemy fire. The crew, consisting of Captain Franklin S. Bradley, WO1 Rickey Hull, SP5 Paul R. Anzelone and SP4 Michael Lynch, had worked since before dawn to aid the ARVN troops. Captain Bradley, White Tiger platoon leader, was well liked by everyone and his efforts in helping to develop the strong airfield defense had given Soc Trang one of the best defended airfields in the Mekong Delta.
