Heavy rains and floods compounded the misery of the savage war in Vietnam and the drive against the Vietcong rebels was forgotten as all efforts turned to feeding the hungry natives. Military, aircraft carrier - Princeton - with helicopters landing on the deck, sailors helping them get situated. Sailors getting flour off a fork lift and carrying them over to the helicopters for transport to the victims of the flood.
