Though a paltry twenty-one minutes long, this documentary has some nice 'in-country' shots from the early years in Vietnam. It is remeniscent of those old films one watched in high school years ago, with watered-down historical reference and just enough information to keep your interest. Inexplicably, at midpoint in the video, the narration stops for a few minutes and the viewer gets the feeling the director tried to pad the film with extra stock footage not even associated with helicopters or the 1st Cav. However, there are some nice shots of Hueys in action, a couple of Jolly Greens and even a Grasshopper is caught hauling off a wrecked fusilage. All-in-all, it's an interesting video to add to any Vietnam collection.
