Description
-
Original caption: "Baked Alaska - That's how a Marine Aircraft Group fire fighter described this amphibious tractor which hit a Viet Cong mine and burned five miles south of the Marble Mountain Air Facility, near Da Nang. Rounds of mortar shells and grenades inside did not explode due to the crash crew's fast response." Three American marines spray a military vehicle with fire extinguisher fluid.
