Landing In Swamp

US marine troops find themselves waist-high in swampy fields, as they jump from Sikorsky S-55 helicopters which have carried them into action against the Viet Cong. Over 400 troops took part in the raid to clean out a Viet Cong position. The white smoke is from a phosphorous rocket used as a landing marker by an observation 'Bird Dog' plane.
