Diary of a Marine Corps aviator during his first tour in Vietnam

Peter Davis grew up in Brockton, Massachusetts in a well-to-do family. Pete went to college at Dartmouth in New Hampshire but was rather more fond of the Outdoor Club than his studies. Feeling listless, he dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps as an aviator. This diary was recorded in 1967 and describes his experiences during his first tour of duty in Vietnam. Pete passed away in 2022- we are hoping to transform this handwritten work into a document that can be shared with friends, family, and fellow Marines.
