@vietnamfineprint: Seven people in a plane built for two, circling an aircraft carrier with no radio. April 1975: as Saigon fell, Major Buang of the South Vietnamese Air Force flew his wife and five children out to the USS Midway. He wrote a note on a map and dropped it on the deck. "Please rescue me." The captain, Lawrence Chambers, had his crew push helicopters over the side to make room. #vietnamwar #History #navy #fallofsaigon #ussmidway
