Larry Burrows, who had covered the war since 1963, was an unlikely war photographer. In his forties, he not only was a master magazine photographer, but also a gentleman of amazing grace. This essay, documenting the mission of a Marine helicopter, Yankee Papa 13, is probably the most famous of the war.
