COMBAT STORIES FROM Vietnam

Tom Morrissey | 117th Assault Helicopter Company - Army

6:06   |   His first flight in Vietnam was memorable. Huey pilot Tom Morrissey was taken up for a check ride with the unit's instructor pilot and while they were warming up the chopper, a mortar round destroyed another aircraft in it's revetment. They immediately went searching for the enemy without a crew chief or door gunners.
