Description
English: "Missions Galore: Captain John C. Church, 29 (Detroit, Michigan), left, and Major Oscar W. Britton, 34 (Chicago, Illinois) happily display a sign congratulating them on their 400th combat mission in Vietnam. Both men are F-4B Phantom jet radar-intercept officers with the Silver Eagles of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron [VMFA-115], Marine Aircraft Group 13 [MAG-13], at Chu Lai. Major Britton flew 192 missions in Vietnam in 1965 and has added 208 missions during the last six months. Captain Church, a former enlisted Marine, flew all his 400 missions in the nine months he has been in Vietnam (official USMC photo by Lance Corporal E. B. Willis)."
