my parent's neighbor tell me that after ww2 ,he did the indochina war(the french vietnam war 1946-1954)he was the 2nd pilot in a dakota squadron of the french air force,in fact an civilian company who work for the french army,a sort of "air america" made in france,he told me that they drop weapons and food to the french soldiers in DIEN BIEN PHU battle,they fly so low to escape the viet minh AA guns that when they land ,there was often a wood of trees in the little rear weel of the dakota!he participated in a lot of missions under AA guns fire exept one where an high rank french officer tell him to stay on the ground cause this high rank officer want show to his wife how his the view of the mekong river in flying ... some hours later my parent's neighbor hear that the dakota was shoot down by the vietminh AA guns ... no survivors...

by the way my parent's neighbor was a sport car pilot too before and after ww2 ,and at more of 80 years old he did a controlled skid with his car !of course when his old wife was not in the car!LOOOOL!
