Chariots of the Damned HELICOPTER SPECIAL OPS Vietnam to Kosovo
Description : 02 Feb, 2024
Title: Chariots of the Damned: Helicopter Special Operations From Vietnam to Kosovo
Description: When F-16 pilot Scott O'Grady was shot down over Bosnia, a rescue mission was launched immediately. It involved nearly 100 aircraft, but succeeded in plucking him to safety in broad daylight. The pilot of the only F-117 Stealth bomber to have ever been shot down was spirited away with equal success. The USAF's elite special organisations Group is the product of many years of hard experience, but only now is it possible to reveal how many of its most famous missions were conducted.
Mike McKinney and Mike Ryan investigate the origins of the Special Operations Group and experience the early rescue missions in Vietnam. The grisly fate awaiting captured American fliers spurred the USAF to develop new weapons and tactics to fight there way through intense enemy anti-aircraft fire. Sometimes the rescue of a single man would escalate into a major military operation. If the ultimate Vietnam rescue mission, the Sony Tay raid, was a failure, it did demonstrate how far techniques and equipment had evolved.
