American Medevac: The Story of a Vietnam Wartime Rescue Mission

Join Morton Dean, former CBS News and ABC News correspondent, as he shares his real-life experiences while covering the Vietnam War, and his acclaimed documentary, American Medevac. During the Vietnam War, Morton Dean and cameraman Greg Cooke flew on a harrowing medevac mission to save three wounded infantrymen from an enemy infested rice paddy. 

Mr. Dean long wondered what had become of the medevac crew at ‘Hawk Hill’ and the three bloodied men who were airlifted to safety on that day in 1971. American Medevac tells the story of their emotional reunion, more than 40 years later. The documentary features on-board footage and Mr. Dean’s CBS Evening News interview with the ‘Hawk Hill’ medevac crew.
