The Battle of Đắk Tô was a series of major engagements of the Vietnam War that took place between November 3–22, 1967, in Kontum Province, in the Central Highlands of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). The action at Đắk Tô was one of a series of People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) offensive initiatives that began during the second half of the year. North Vietnamese attacks at Lộc Ninh (in Bình Long Province), Song Be (in Phước Long Province), and at Con Thien and Khe Sanh, (in Quảng Trị Province), were other actions which, combined with Đắk Tô, became known as "the border battles."
On November 20, 1967 during the battle five Medivac helicopters had been shot down but, Lt. Col. Byron P. Howlett, Jr., disregarding his own safety he piloted his helicopter in an effort to move out the wounded. With Air Force cover provided by fighters and helicopter gun ships moved to the hilltop clearings to evacuate wounded. Under heavy enemy fire he was able to take on wounded but his helicopter was hit on the rotor head. Through great skill he was able to fly the damaged helicopter to the 173d's clearing station.
