Downed USAF F-105 Pilot Rescued from the Vietnamese Jungle 1969 HD

Now in HD! Pilot rescue is in the news with the dramatic extraction of two F-15 pilots in Iran. Many of the techniques used today were first perfected during the Vietnam War. I originally published this video several years ago. This is a new HD Restoration. F-105 flight leader Lt. James Devoss gives a dramatic account of his rescue, severely injured, from enemy held jungle during the Vietnam War. You'll hear the story of his last mission from takeoff through pickup by a CH-3 "Jolly Green Giant" helicopter after being shot down, including actual footage. You'll also see all aspects of a well planned and executed "search and rescue" operation that saved so many lives during that conflict.' Zeno We license our footage!
