There's a program on here in the UK on satellite called 'Tank Overhaul'. Its airing on a history channel called 'YeSTERDAY'. Its a U.S. made program and this one featured the M24 Chaffee light battle tank. They had lots of footage of the tanks at DBP and interviews with crewmen from that battle. Very interesting!
One of the clips was of Viet paras (5 BPVN?) sitting all over the M24 "POSEN", going into action across the valley floor. Awesome footage.

Very nice. There's a company that makes miniature vehicles for collectors/wargamers that was supposed to have an M24 in DBP markings coming out a couple of months ago.
Now that you jogged my memory I'll have to see if I can find the e-mail I got telling me about it.

Cookie,
I did a search on that program and could not find a link to any excess footage; if you find something will you send us the link? I have wanted to see original footage of tanks at DBP for quite some time.

There's a good color pic of an M24 at DBP in Il y a 50 ans Dien Bien Phu. I'll bring it next week. The base color seems to be OD, with what appear hastily added stripes of brown and black.
