Robert Wideman - His full interview Part 2 (Vietnam War)

On November 17, 2013 Robert Wideman sat down and told of his experiences in the Vietnam War. Robert, born in Montreal, Canada and raised in upstate New York and Cleveland, OH, served in the Navy. A pilot, he flew 120+ missions into Vietnam off the carriers Enterprise and Hancock. On May 6, 1967, his plane was shot down over North Vietnam. He talks about his subsequent capture by the Vietnamese (a frightening two week experience) and his nearly six years as a prisoner of war in the notorious Hanoi Hilton, Plantation and Zoo prison camps. He has written a book about his experience entitled, "Unexpected Prisoner". #VietnamWar #POW #HanoiHilton #usnavy #veteranstories #prisonerofwar #rememberandhonorstories
