When we were attacked on Nov. 15, I was in the tower. I had one tape left for my tape recorder so I did a play-by-play for the folks back home.
At some point I recorded the normal traffic activity in the ATC tower. I think this was a few weeks before we were attacked. I say this because all of the traffic on the tape is helicopters supporting infantry operations; no C130 traffic on that day. In contrast, there was a lot of C130 traffic in the week before the airfield attack.
Another tape of helicopter radio traffic, talking to each other and with their operational headquarters, was recorded in November, I think.
Right after Tet, at the end of January 1968, I sent a letter home describing the activity around the airfield.
