The lunar new year offensive has overrun a district town on the Saigon River, and the families hiding in its compound weigh the same as ammunition.
Chief Warrant Officer Forrest Haverkamp flies the CH-47A Heavy Date out of Phu Loi, where every Chinook in the battalion is needed to carry shells to Saigon and Long Binh. When the advisor at Bình Lộc calls for help, Haverkamp lands on the soccer field under fire and takes out the wounded, and no more than his number allows. A schoolteacher puts her pupils on the ramp and steps back to stay with her mother. His copilot, Jules Broussard, sees her stay.
Vương Văn Thước's men hold the market and a recoilless rifle in the rice mill, and the field is in their sights. Haverkamp plans night lifts in the cool air at minimum fuel. The advisor asks him to overload, and Haverkamp says no and tells him why.
