31 January 1968 – On the first full day of the Tet Offensive, Major Joe Bulger (Flight Lead) and 1Lt “Fearless” Fred Abrams were asked to bomb their own base. In the early hours of the day, Vietcong forces had launched an attack on Bien Hoa AB. “The whole east end was hot,” Abrams said.
On August 12, 1967, while directing fighter operations against a hostile anti-aircraft site, Major Dalton repeatedly dove his aircraft through intense barrages of flak to mark the target for each of several flights of tactical fighters. With complete disregard for his own safety, he maneuvered his aircraft under a low ceiling to provide ordnance impact corrections and was thus instrumental in destroying the site which was a severe threat to friendly aircraft operating in the area.
After retiring from the USAF Barney Dalton became a high school math teacher, and then retired again
