Vietnam War and Linebacker II veteran Ron Bartlett & aviation artist and filmmaker John Mollison bring you Episode 3 of the four-part series on Linebacker II, the Operation that effectively ended the Vietnam War for the United States (and brought the POWs home).
Each episode features a downloadable Educator's Supplement + the 1-2 minute recollections of veterans and their families.
In this episode, DFC recipient, POW and B-52 pilot William “Bill” Arcuri and Kim Morey, PhD and B-52 tailgunner share their perspectives as crew who partook in B-52 missions over Hanoi during Linebacker II.
Arcuri’s B-52, “Quilt One,” was shot down by a SAM missile during the 20 December mission, resulting in his being one of the Operation’s first casualties. Morey flew a total of five combat missions during the Operation including targets over Hanoi, Haiphong and just north of the DMZ.
This episode and especially the downloadable Educator's Supplement are a great primer to the next episode, WAR'S END and COMING HOME.
