Once downed by enemy fire in North Vietnam, surviving US pilots were largely dependent on brave Skyraider, FAC and HH-53 Super Jolly helicopter crews to save them. On this occasion the crewman on the ground has just broken cover and is about to be winched to safety by the Super Jolly helicopter crew under the protective over of the Douglas A-1 Skyraiders.

We used to practice Search and Rescue in the Los Padres National Forest up in the mountains. It would be 65 degrees down at sea level and 23 in the mountains. I about froze several times, flying with the doors open. The pilots at least had heat.
