Vietnam The Chopper War
Moving Image Item Number: 640VI2734
As US Troops were committed in ever-increasing numbers in the 1960s to protect South Vietnam from Communist takeover, it became clear they faced a double enemy in the Vietcong and the inhospitable South-East Asian terrain. The helicopter turned the tide, revolutionizing the face of warfare at a stroke and laying down a blueprint for the future. With much previously classified film footage shot on both the ground and in the air, this program examines the integral role played by the helicopter.
