A phantom strike on enemy movement west of Hill 52, summer of 1970.  Photo by Tony Goodrich.  He caught the fireball on this shot.  The brown patch on the far right at the base of the mountain was the Thuong Duc Special Forces camp.  They'd get hit at night and you could watch the fireworks from the incoming and outgoing.

Another of Tony's pictures, this one of a 106RR on a combat mission on Hill 52.   Check out the dust kicked out by the backblast on the right. The rifle looks to be mounted on a mule.
