FLTLT Garry Cooper - Helmet shot by small arms fire during Vietnam War
Summary edit
| Description |
English: On 18 Aug 1968, whilst assigned to the USAF as a Forward Air Controller in Vietnam, FLTLT Garry Cooper was assigned to fly as the Air Liaison Officer in the Command and Control helicopter assigned to the 2nd Brigade Commander of the US Army's 9th Infantry Division. During this mission, whilst flying at low level, a small arms bullet fired from the ground penetrated Cooper's flying helmet. The bullet penetrated the helmet above Cooper's left ear. It then passed through the inside of the helmet, narrowly missing Cooper's head by about 2cm, and exited the front of the helmet above Cooper's forehead, before exiting the visor cover. |
