Title: Unloading cargo from a C-7A Caribou transport
Description: Original caption: "Saigon - Quick offload - Air Freight specialists of the Air Force's 2nd Aerial Port Group unload cargo from a C-7A Caribou transport. The port group has combined with airlift crews to move more than three million tons of cargo and passengers in Vietnam." Cargo is unloaded from an American jet plane by a forklift and placed on a truck. It is unclear what the cargo is, since it is in wooden crates on pallets.
