Description: The 121st AVN reported that during January they development an improved doormount for machine guns carried by their helicopters on all missions. The new mount permitted gunners to place fire directly beneath the aircraft, an area that had been particularly vunerable previously. Their maintenance crews continued to keep a maximum number of aircraft flyable, despite an average of only one hour of daylight available for maintenance activities. Extensive work on aircraft needed for missions on the following day was accomplished at least in part, if not in full, during darkness.
The source for this information was 121st AVN CO Annual Supplement 1 Jan 64 - 31 Dec 64
Additional information is available on CD-ROM.
