    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    Was hoping to use photos and experiences provided by surviving crewmembers that would be helpful on a restoration of a XM706E1 (V100) I remember Eddie Black was a great local resource for finding information relating to such things, unfortunately he has since passed away in 2007
