C-47 Crewmen Equipment To C1IICO ARMY AIR F1ISLD, Calif Tho C-47 crewman braced himself against ' tho Interior iif tho big cargo plane uud placed his feel against a pile of supplies near the open cargo door. Somewhere In tho piano u bell clanged, and the crewman shoved mightily with both feel und tho cargo fell into space. A U. 8. forest service ranger leaned close to tho door uud looked out. "Right on the noso ugaln." ho said with a smile und u big thumbs-up gesture. Chlco army air field's curgo carriers hud done It uguin. For over ii week tho big Kkytrain had been shuttling between here, an emergency strip al Montague, near tho Oregon border, and the drop area where soldiers und forest service men were battling a series uf llghtnlng-ignltcd fires. Food und flic fighting equip ment hud been dropped to the CAAF engineers und pnrnlroop crs with very little loss.. With the trip lust week, Dis trict Ranger Rex Deiiney of Yreku, who lias beeii getting in more flying time thaif tho aver age air crewmen, suld: "Well, that looks like the last of Iho dropping for some lime. Hope wo don't havo any more fires In such lnnccessiblo areas." And It was rugged, too. The fire wus burning near the lop of o ridge, surrounded by rocky, wild country of deep pre cipitous canyons mid a definite dearth of roads. Far to the west n mirrnu. ulndine sear mi the I side of a steep mountain was pointed out as the nearest road to tho scene of operations. It was eight miles awuy. Here's a typical trip to the fire fighting urea: After an uneventful trip from Chlco to tho . Montague strip, which is not far from the Oregon border, an army truck loaded with well wrapped supplies cap ped with small parachutes to break the fall met the C-47. The plane was loaded und headed west over steudily rising mountains. The drop ureu wus 122 miles from the airstrip by truck, and over the worst type of mountain roads. The air route wasn't even too good. In order to fly over the drop ureu at the proper height, It wus necessary at limes to fly through deep canyons capped by rocky peaks, and over territory whero a clearing was a rarity. SSgt. Leonard Driscoll, here on detached service from Stout Field, Ind., lashed himself se curely to tho plane, and lay down on the floor of the aircraft op posite tho cargo door. The rangers piled the supplies in front of it. and SSgt. Houer T. Jackson, of Attlcboro, Mass., tho Drop Food, Fire Fighters other crewman, fastened the 'cliuto to ropes I rum llii: plunc, As tho ' pllols, 1 Lis. i.oyd. R. Melxler. Jr., and William ft, lllglit, lined up the plane for the drop, the bell cluuged and oul went the stuff which would keep tho ground men going for unolher day or two. All five bundles floated di rectly into ii littlo clearing utop u hill, with the fluttened out chutes euslly murkluK thu place. Ranger Deiiney explained that tho clearing wus uboul a mile awav from the nearest cumn and ut least eight miles awuy from the nearest road. All of the supplies' lilt tho tiny clearing, although tho chute rip ped loose from one bundle. How ever, thai one was of unbreak able stuff, und no damage re sulted, "I've really become, airborne," Runeer D e n n o y comirfcntud, "Wo'vo nlrcudy made 14 trips out here, but now the fire Booms to be under control." "Yes, it seems as If we've dropped more stuff here than wo did over in Guinea for the Auk sles around ituua," suid Lt. Melxler. Uiit tho curgo curriers have been doing a Job,, and they've been putting in plenty of hours In rough territory without a hitch. They are from the Troop Car rier. Command, and supplies or men, the C-47 men hero can luy 'em on a dime.

Realizing' that tho enemy had to be pinned down by our artillery firo to ef fect disengagement without fur ther casualties; he personally ran over 2UU' yards of exposed terrain under the intense fire to a position"of observation. At one point hot came under the direct fire of an enemy machine gun sniper. At an exposed obser vation point, Cohea by his accu rate fire direction, quickly neu tralized most of the enemy posi tions, lie men personally and bravely directed tho company's disengagement without further casualties." The award citation for ' the Oak Leaf cluster related: "When his company was pinned down on one of its' objectives by in tense enemy artillery, mortur and small arms fire, Cohea per formed most gallantly. Realiz ing that the company must move forward from the dangerous ground, he exposed himself to direct accurate artillery fire that quickly neutralized most of the enemy position, thus reliev ing his company. Then reorgan izing his company he started to renew the attack. Wounded se verely in the leg at this point he sent the litter bearers to otlfcr casualties while he tried to walk back to the aid station. He also courageously crawled through the intense fire to re lieve a wounded man. - His wife, June Marie Cohea Jr., lives on route 1, Bonanza.
