Photo taken during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu at Strongpoint Isabelle, 'a dismal patch of marshes and swamp' 6 km to the south of the town, where there was an auxiliary airstrip. Killed soldiers are visible in the uncropped picture. Supplies appear to be parachuted in in the background. The helicopter is ex USAF 52-7595, which was shipped to Vietnam in January 1954. It is listed as lost at Dien Bien Phu on 23 March, one week after this photo was taken by either Jean Péraud or Daniel Camus. Photo from: ECPAD
