Dennis Bradley's Home Movies


Dennis Bradley was a crew chief on a Huey, flying for the 173d Airborne Brigade. He took some movies with his super 8 camera, which I edited and put into a movie.

Casper Platoon, the Army's only stand alone aviation platoon during the Vietnam war, flew a variety of helicopters and missions during the war. Dennis Bradley, crew chief and gunner flew with me and took some super 8 movies. I edited them with a little sound and this is what you get..
We both flew for the Casper Platoon, yeah that's right, just like the ghost. Casper platoon was the only stand alone aviation platoon, and the 173d was the only separate combat brigade of the war. We were General Westmoreland's 911. When there was an immediate problem, we were there. Our brigade was one of the most decorated units of the war. Dennis would have more movies but they were lost, along with camera, when his helicopter went down near Dak To, with Dale, Jack and George.
