Caption: A CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter dives into the Demilitarized Zone of Vietnam on September 18, 1968. The Marine aircraft is actually executing a controlled landing to deliver units of the Ninth Marine Regiment, 3d Marine Division, who were conducting operations to search for North Vietnamese Army forces and supplies. The rugged terrain required the Marine pilots to perform steep descent maneuvers before leveling off and landing. This photograph was taken by SSgt D. L. Shearer and is part of the 35mm negative collection documenting American military activities during the Vietnam War. Offi
