As a Vietnam Veteran I remember these choppers well. The wop,wop,wop, of the rotor blades was the song of my youth. Those Hueys were either taking us into Hell or bringing us out of it. There is nothing glorious about war.

The British t.v. networks had some of the best footage and most graphic and incisive reports on both U.S. and South Vietnamese operations in South Vietnam from Day 1 in 1965 to the fall of Saigon in 1975. The B.B.C. still holds the largest archive of t.v. reports from the Vietnam War outside the U.S.

Strange how ITN news reporting was nearly always better than the BBC.
