When a Cessna Held Back the Vietcong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2021
- Captain Hilliard A. Wilbanks was piloting his Cessna Bird Dog as an FAC over the skies of Vietnam. When he saw American led Rangers walking into a trap set by the NVA and the Vietcong, he took it upon himself so hold back the onslaught. An incredibly brave act that resulted in a Medal of Honor.

“But he had his M16, set it to full auto, and started to fire on the NVA”
Metal as fuck dude. Rest In Peace
I think this historical event might have been, at least in part, an inspiration to the Gene Hackman movie "BAT 21", where a pilot is shot down over Vietnam, and then gives coded radio messages involving golf course distances and layouts to Americans in an attempt to facilitate his own rescue.
The idea was that the Viet Cong would of course have no idea how American golf courses were laid out, so the messages were like "par 3, 8th hole" or the like, to indicate to American intelligence he was going 200 yards in one direction, followed by 100 yards in another, or whatever, once intelligence officers overlaid maps of the golf course with maps of the combat area, they were able to easily figure out his movements and where he wanted to be extracted.

What a Legend!!!!!!!! Hollywood needs to make a movie dedicated to his story
Dude our history teacher shows us these animations whenever they come out because he says “there interesting”
@B H Cool
The animations just gets better and better. This is in my opinion one of the best videos they’ve made.
I really like 3D recreation since they make story telling more convincing rather than 2D
The latest is always the best everytime with yarnhub
They literally out-animate themselves with every upload, I swear, the animation in this video is better, if even just a teeny tiny bit than the Tank Alley video, which was the previous one
Soon enough there will be short film and i hope they will think of doing it
It starts to look more cinematic rather than informational video. And I love it
How brave must this man have been to fight back in such a slow, poorly armored plane, RIP, reminds me of the movie and book BAT 21 and of your prior video on Rosie the Rocketer

My dad was a FAC in the Viet Nam War. There were times when he flew in a Bird Dog. He told me about a time where he and his co-pilot spotted an ammo dump and all they had was smoke grenades which they dropped during several passes, trying to set the dump on fire.
God bless your dad. I have much respect for those like your dad. I got to fly a Bird Dog once that I helped restore. It remains one of my most favorite aircraft that I have flown.
Smoke grenades?
@@tejano434 There is a danger of starting a fire with the M18 smoke gernades when used in a dry area. Expended canisters remain hot for some time after burning out and could have caused a chain reaction.

This is right up there with the best animated documentaries. The only documentaries that I think are better than these are from the early to mid 2000s, Greatest Tank battles, and Dogfights (both by the history channel).

Dad was a FAC (20th TASS), call sign Covey 50. He flew out of Khe Sanh 1966-1967. To say he came home with "issues" would be a radical understatement. Yet he never complained. Just came home, did his remaining 3 years, then retired. About 10 years before he passed, he told me how his "tour" of the DMZ & the Ho Chi Minh trail still followed him 45 years later. He passed New Year's day, 2021. I pray he's flying in clear skies now.

As a pilot who flys a slow Cessna, this man was a straight bad ass and a legend.... I’ve done even more research on him now and my lord what he did was insane and and just freaking amazing he most likely saved over 80 lives and found a good book about this exact story and his time in Vietnam.
