Editorial Reviews: This video includes several films: The first film titled, "HH-3E Jolly Green Giant Helicopter," provides an overview of the aircraft, focusing on it's upgraded instrauments and armor, just before the aircraft was sent to Vietnam. The second film titled "All For One," details the role of Air Force 5-man air rescue teams, whose job it was to bring out downed pilots. Documents the rescue of Capt. Gerald Lawrence in 1972. This film also offers interviews with an A-1 squadron commander (Sandy), as well as the forward air contoller. There's excellent live-action footage aboard HH-53s (super jolly greens) of actual rescues, as well as details outlining the specific role of each team member: the pilot, co-pilot, navigator (door gunner) and the para-rescue jumpers, called "PJs." The third film (not narrated) features random scenes of the 20th Special Opertions Squadron. Shows camouflaged HH-3Es in flight, landing, loading/offloading troops, dropping paratroops and transporting troops on cables. The fourth film titled "Faces Of Rescue," details the rescue of a downed pilot in Vietnam. The fifth film (not narrated) documents a visit by Lt.Gen. Wilson to the 40th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS) at Udorn AB in 1969. The sixth film titled, Air Rescue Southeast Asia looks at the rescue of a downed pilot with the emphasis on the coordination between the Jolly Greens and the C-130s called "Crowns."
