My deepest respect to all Vietnam Veterans On April 29, 1975, the beleaguered South Vietnamese capital of Saigon witnessed the largest helicopter evacuation in history Two United States Marine Corps helicopter squadrons, ten US Air force helicopters, and Air America carried out 1,373 Americans and 5,595 people of other nationalities
Although a good deal has been written over the past thirty years about the military‘s effort during the dramatic events of late April, the story of Air America – the airline secretly owned by the Central Intelligence Agency – remains largely untold Time for justice has come
