Dust-Off‪ ‬

A telephone call to Senator J. William Fulbrights Washington D. C. Office arranged a change of assignment for new Warrant Officer Pilot Thomas Butler to Medical Evacuation School at Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. He could not have known how this factor would affect the future decisions he would make in combat.

With only minor glimpses into the challenges faced by a medical evacuation pilot catapulted into the jungles of Vietnam, Mr. Butler presents a rare look into the lives of the men whose task it was to retrieve the wounded from the battlefields and jungles of Vietnam. He tells the story like none other has, Discribing the jobs of men who took pride in their Vietnam Conflict service, and including the writings of a North Vietnamese Officer, Captain Nguyen Van Trang.
