Vietnam War | Request Dust-Off : The call that echoes across Vietnam

Подробнее о видео

In the heart of the Vietnam War, a call echoes through the jungles, rice paddies, and mountains: "Request Dust-Off." This episode explores the critical role of helicopter medical evacuations, an emergency system where every second can mean the difference between life and death. Through testimonies from wounded soldiers, helicopter pilots, and military nurses, we follow these perilous missions led by men and women whose sole mission is to rescue survivors from the grip of death—often at the cost of their own safety.

From combat zones and daring rescues under enemy fire to the wounded soldier’s journey to the hospital, the film exposes the brutal reality of war and the unwavering commitment of these airborne guardians. From field hospitals to flying air ambulances crossing the Pacific, each casualty embarks on a long road to recovery—and sometimes, a return home.

Through powerful archival footage, "Dust-Off" pays tribute to the heroes who risked their lives so others could return to theirs.
