Seaman Carlos H. Smith is lowered from a helicopter to the deck of the USS Manchester where he was treated for a bad tooth. Original caption: In a short time, the "egg-beater" was lowering its patient-passenger to the decks of the cruiser Manchester where the mailman's stricken molar was treated by Dr. F. W. Cook in the ship's fully-equipped dental lab. By noon the next day, the air taxi returned to the Manchester and delivered a relieved mailman Smith back to his grateful shipmates on the Higbee.
