"River Patrol" (1967) - U.S. Navy in the Mekong Delta - Vietnam War REEL History

Video Description

This 1967 U.S. Navy documentary looks at the sailors operating on the rivers and in the skies above Vietnam. The Mekong Delta was a hot zone in the war against well organized Viet Cong insurgents, immortalized by the film "Apocalypse Now." This beautifully photographed film is the real thing -- a "slice of life" documentary showing daily operations aboard the Harnett County and on river patrols by air & water. The USS Harnett County (LST-821) served as a floating base in the China Sea for PBR and helicopter patrol operations in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War. "REEL HISTORY" will cover battles... military personalities... stories of survival and heroism... and broader stories of campaigns and conflicts produced by or for the U.S. Military.
