24/2/1969 - 'The Vietnam War'. The Night was approaching as Spooky 71, an AC-47 gunship, took off from Bien Hoa Air Base, a few miles northwest of Saigon. For the next six hours, Spooky 71 would fly a combat air patrol circuit over the Saigon/Tan Son Nhut area, ready to respond wherever its fire support was needed. Before the night was over, Levitow (a Loadmaster) would perform an act of astounding bravery for which he would ultimately be awarded the Medal of Honor.
