03/12/2010 - Comment on Norm Clark's recollection of Doug Olsen's custom made aerial bombs.
I don't recall the specific night mission that Norm relates but it is very possible I was the dumbass that allowed such activity. I definitely recall other, multiple, customized bombing missions during which Doug's bombs were delivered onto hootches, footbridges and other targets. This activity made us a big ol' fat tadpole target while trying to high hover an overloaded HOG for accurate delivery of home made ordnance on target. About as dumb as trying to hover over an North Vietnam flag atop a 40 or 50 foot tall flagpole so we could retrieve a really cool souvenir. Dumb!! I guess we really were ten foot tall and bullet proof back then, or we may have been 'on a mission from God' and didn't realize it at the time.
