I was stationed at Tan Son Nhut AB, near Saigon and for about 5 months I was the NCOIC of the Lucky Dragon Power Production, 377th CES. We provided electrical power to several units but the 600th Photo was probably the most important. They (and I) were located inside the 7th Air Force compound, just across the road from the Hotel 3 heliport. Thanks for posting this. It brought back many memories from more than 50 years ago.
You might have met my dad. He was the translator and aeriel photography processing staff. He was a First Lieutenant in the South Vietnam Airforce and he was active during 68' till the end
0:12 Seems to be a Senior Master Sargent but has a total of SIX strips near the star. Three of them are under the star. What is this? The most stripes under the star are TWO.
@@josephbingham1255 What you saw was a CMSGT. The stripes changed in the mid-90's, IIRC.
I was a "green" first term airman Security Policeman stationed at Tan Son Nhut in 69/70! I was assigned the entry post guard duty one night across the street from the heliport. Pitch black in that area when a 122 impacted in a field several hundred yards from me! Realized later the security towers had seen the launch as the base sirens wailed out before the boom. I still have some interesting glossies from a Buddy who worked for the 600th! Oh to be young again!
Imagine what kind of high quality videos they have nowadays for Syria, Iraq, etc wars that don’t want the public to watch
every grunt these days has gopro on their helmet which are all high definition...
Or you can just search up endless videos of combat footage.
Or you could search endless footage of HOT GAY ANAL
I remember it perfectly. I was a teen 13 or 14 years old and came home to an empty house which meant I had the television to myself. I snapped it on and tuned to the local PBS channel and found a show already in progress. It was an hour of rearward-facing cameras recording various ordnance being dropped in Vietnam. At the time it was very high definition. I was transfixed because in many of the clips you could see the Napalm canisters or whatever clearly until they hit the ground. It seemed some of them went off before landing. Ever since I've seen bits and pieces of that one program in different UA-cam vids (including here)and other shows...
Roger … me too - Same all ! Cool And always remember ! Thanks Air Force kid
Some of this same footage has been used in other documentaries, training films, movies and tv shows. This is the highest quality video of any of the clips i have seen before. Another great job Periscope Film. Thank you. Do you happen to know the date this was made?
1968
@@jamesguitarshields thank you.
A trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Hugo Carmelo yea, I've been using flixzone} for since december myself =)
@ 4:38 unbelievable 2.75” Hydra rocket deployment footage. Best I’ve ever seen. Primo, great post!

B: I think the Hydra is a much later development. These are probably 2.75 inch FFAR "Mighty Mouse" rockets which the Hydra was developed from.
I love seeing old footage like this
I'm wondering though, is there some iron law that all Vietnam war bombing footage must be played in slow motion. I do like the smooth slow motion, but world war II dog fights are in normal speed, why does Vietnam footage really get shown in normal speed. It gives the person a false idea of how quickly the action was moving in. The planes are moving. Which in those days was faster than anything in history.
When i joined the USAF in 1992, i was initially trained to maintain the cameras on the RF-4. There was only one remaing (reserve) squadron in Reno that flew these. In typical form, the military was continuing to train active duty airmen on these systems after they had been retired from active duty. I went on to OJT with other combat avionics systems
That’s exactly what my father was trained to do also (RB-66, RF-101, RF-4C). He did it for 20 years from 1954-1974 in locations like, Shaw, RAF Alconbury, MacDill, Mountain Home, Udorn, Kadena, and Bergstrom. He could go on and on about camera systems like the KA-55, 56, 57. He passed away in 2021 from Covid at age 87. I was so proud to be his son. I miss him.
Love the 'Snake Eyes' with their speed brakes dropping off the F-4 at 0:42
"TOP GUN ".
i had an NCOIC at Beale AFB Ca who was at TSN and while he only made one or two flights, he was a photographer and worked out of of the trailers. i was also pretty active in the base museum and with a couple of USAAF/USAF retirees in the area, i always looked forward to seeing them there. one day Col Hubert Zemke (WWII "Wolf Pack" commander) came in and asked if he could use the theater. i said sure, lets get your film loaded up. he invited me in to watch it with him and he showed me the can from 1944, where he had JUST OPENED for the first time ever, some gun camera film. he said he found it in the bottom of a footlocker that somehow had never been seen by Intel. we watched about 40 minutes of strafing runs and some light dog-fighting together. it was like watching with my grandpa. he took copious notes while watching
Definitely a privilege, I'm envious.👍
Cool thing you got to do there ! Never forget - Tell your kids too . Never forget ! Awesome & thanks big buddy .
My father worked and trained on the cameras and other equipment. Thanks for sharing. Love seeing more of what he got to work with in multiple countries for 20 years. Couple times he’d mentioned the pif labs.
In the Iran-Iraq War, on equal terms, even Iraq's superiority with Soviet weaponry, Iranian pilots won the greatest honors with American weapons. F14f4 Cobra helicopters achieved the greatest success. Vietnam had unequal conditions
Yep…. I enlisted in 77 shortly after Vietnam. One of my favorite early duty assignments was at Zweibruken AB W Germany from 78 - 81. 38th TAC Recon SQ. Good times during the Cold War
Good footage for its time. A lot of explosives dropped on innocent lives through that conflict.
Excellent footage guys - Old men know what happened ! Thank you
Excellent footage 👏
It's amazing now vietnam is in talk with America about opening naval ports for American War ships.
Please type in English!
5:53 ---> probably one of the first uses of the phrase *'download'*
😎🇺🇸💯
I know one air combat photographer. Won’t mention his last name, but, Keith from Marilyn’s Bakery, Cherry Valley, Ca. He’s a Viet Nam Vet and a great guy.
Imagine if they had video cameras for all the wars in the past 1000 years. We probably would’ve have had as many wars if everyone fully understood what all it entails, and it’s repercussions down the line over time.
Thanks for doing your best over there.
Aztán megszégyenült, vesztes hadseregként távoztak. Mint most Afganisztánból. Hiába a szuper hadsereg, ha vesztes ügyek mellé álltok.
Where are you from?
They got better footage than today.
Got a huge knot on my head coming in contact with a blister camera on an F-4 during an ICT. Had to remain in the hospital overnight to be observed for a possible concussion. 😒
Lmao...the explosion sound effects 🤣
I was with the 388th A&E in Korat AIr Base, F-105's with deliveries of death 3x daily. Lost 50% pilots of squadron, Nov. '67. Due to mostly SAMs, over Hanoi. Just a political war. We were told where we could bomb. Our pilots did their best and ground support as well.
It’s amazing that a simple GoPro camera can now replace tens of thousands of man hours and thousand square foot trailers and they can immediately email footage anywhere in the world. My has technology changed in a few short decades.
Those real time 16mm film developer's unit's are the stuff of legend you dont see that gear. Anyware at all anymore
Awesome vid 👍

what you write, what learning, what democracy and freedom
Omg, those are people house!
Bad People. 😑
War.
Wow….sound travels faster than light. Who knew?
I'm assuming the sound is added. If you watch any in-cockpit footage with sound, say from an air display, the real sound is nothing like that used here, i.e. other jet sounds etc...
@@localbod Woosh!
Ah, where would these films rank if not for the music and inserted explosions?
When the strategy better than the technology
Those photos would be developed inteled and be in the ready room within the hour. They had to act quickly due to the fact that intel changes constantly. Just a small Navy opinion here!
At 3:37 😳😳😳 dude lit it up 🔥 🔥 🔥 Wowww it just doesn’t even seem fair
A lot of dead civilians learnig hard about democracy and freedom
k: US forces aren't randomly dropping bombs or attacking civilians.
Wow, you must be really important to have known that information, I could only go by what I saw, which was No People. I did see Enemy Villages, if you did a little more research you'd see that Vietnam was a very Dirty war, in that, there was corruption, collaboration, and constant change of tactics because of this, and that's a big part of the reason the U.S. left, to that point in history there had never been a conflict with the all of those different facets to the heights that were seen in that war..... So you must be really important, or really ignorant.
@@jasonsabourin2275Welcome home
Nothing has Changed friend.
The so called 3rd world is still living US democracy and destruction. Nothing has really changed friend.
The Vietcong hid in villages as cover so yeah blame the VC
the U.S. ARMED FORCE is so powerful but was retread off Vietnam.
South Vietnam Armed Force was much less power than the U.S. ARMED FORCE, that was reason they could not withstand VC attacked then lost the battle in 1975 after the US stop supporting ammo since 1973.
✨☕️✨Thankyou
I love the WWII movie explosion sound effects.
Damn straight good air to air footage was priceless...the missiles that were used against enemy aircraft pretty much sucked...most failed.
for real?? tell more about it
Yes, that's why they were begging to get guns to put on their fighters, those air to air missiles have to be a certain distance away from the Bogie for it to engage, so for close in dog fight's they needed the gun, finally they got the Gatlin/Vulcan? gun for the Phantoms.
Sidewinders were best AAMs. The FOCUS AGM-87 was a Sidewinder used for killing locomotives and trucks. The FOCUS resulted in the AGM-122 SIDEARM. The AIM-4 FALCONs were duds. The problem with the SPARROWs was centered on maintenance.
It's just LOVELY seeing the people who made & make america TRULY GREAT...
Hearing their voices ... a token or two are okay -- but it really WAS a better america
cap
I love how Agent Orange backfired and gave those invaders some cancer ..

Added sound effects are instantaneous with explosions, so forgot to account for speed of sound versus speed of light. 😊
The sound effects tho
this feels strange without California Dreamin playing in the background
Yeah I wondering about the audio... added in post?
My uncle Jack flew the F4 phantom in Vietnam, I was 8 in 1968 and he'd get leave for Christmas, I was in awe. 🙏🇺🇲
Os USA são muito bonzinhos . Toda essa bondade tipo agente laranja e outras coisinhas boas culminam agora com a epidemia de Fentanil e a discussão se os soldados americanos podem ou não pintar as unhas.
These Vietnam films are always interesting and informative; however, I keep in mind they are also our nation's propaganda, "aimed" at us, the citizenry, to portray the Vietnam war in the most favorable light. Unwittingly, the film's early moments show film of USAF aircraft spraying Dow Chemical's Agent Orange over a Vietnam forest.
I watch film like this one, with more than a grain of salt. I have the utmost respect for our Vietnam veterans, and believe, to this day, they are still not well-served by our government.
Most of these films were NOT shown to the General Public. They were shown to certain Military personal.
@@jasonsabourin2275 That doesn't stop them being propaganda.
I recognise of this aircraft f-4 phantom ll american bombing striked used in Vietnam war
In most of this footage ,there's absolutely zero return fire. Shooting up random buildings ,boats ,farms and purported jungle positions. The lack of precision targeting back then, pointed to indiscriminate bombing.
воевать против стариков, женщин и детей любой дурак сможет. Особенно если он в недосягаемости
More like indiscriminate orders!
Oh! You got all the intel on all of that? Oh Good, Good, why aren't at the U.N. with that Info? I'm sure if you call the Vietnamese today they'll definitely back you.
@@perisher1976 Ha HAha ha..... Another Angelic Russian heard from, a country that's killed just as many of it's own people than anyone else, God you people are confused, well now your turning it on your neighbors....... Give it a couple of years they'll turn their attention back to you. 😵
Remember, for every tracer round there are 4 rounds before, and after that round. 🤤
Impressive imagery - makes one wonder how the U.S. lost that war . . .
US lost the war because it chose to. The civilians in DC didnt allow the military to attack airfields, Surface to AIr missile sites etc as it would be considered an "act of war"
@@sidv4615 That figures . . . .
They weren't trained to fight in jungle warfare and the VC fought from under ground in tunnels and China was supplying the VC with weapons
The us was too confident in their technological superiority and believed they could just bomb the vc into oblivion. Of course they did, but it wouldn’t be enough
Because they focused on cameras too much...
The Gopro of that era
The mighty American army or as depicted in Hollywood got his ass beat by a handful of poorly armed farmers. Such "victory" and "heroism". Your young men died for literally nothing.
U.S democracy waouh it's amazing
Well, in this case to bring the precious gift of US democracy does not work. And in Afghanistan the mighty US Forces and all their NATO Buddies plus the regular Forces of Afghanistan could not win against poor armed civilians. They tried 20 years to find out why Afghanistan is named The Graveyard of the Empires and it was cost intensive. Maybe they learned from that little Training Mission that they have no chance against Russia & China. Try Venezuela 20 years and get your a..... kicked one more time. Does not matter how much it cost it is from the patriotic taxpayers money.
Yup, and S.Vietnam wanted that Democracy, that's why the U.S. was there, just like the same Democracy S. Korea now has.

Yeah next target Iran's oil and civilians.
So, some of the very first pod casts then?
Haven’t seen this footage at all

Not mentioned in the film is that many of these targets were not military but civilians, whole scale murder that made the arms companies, lobbiest and politicians very wealthy, through the sacrifice of innocent men women and children.
S: You are a very good fiction peddler. Total lies.
It's called total war, but we really didn't do that. If we had we would have won the war, and very quickly.
@@rickbarnes7745 True. Reviews were done for both LBJ and Nixon. Both reported that North Vietnam could be totally defeated in 4 weeks if combat forces were not restricted by ROE. However, there are other considerations particularly Danger of expanding war with China or Russia. 2. Desire to risk the fewest US lives. There was no simple or easy equation. Later history bears this out Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Syria.
Stop lying. Everyone knows when America goes to war everything is perfect. Only evil people die and everyone gets a hamburger after.
REALLY?????? Hey I know G.Gordon Liddy, would you like to meet him, and some of his friends some night? 🤨
600th Photo Sq.
It typically seems like they are not bombing anything, just trees.
M: of course you are ignorant of each mission and are making assumptions based on no facts.
Uhhhh, obviously that cameras weren't THAT good, and if you could see people being hit they wouldn't show the footage.SMH
