The Battle of Ia Drang - November 1965

In November of 1965 this was the first real battle between the US army and the North Vietnamese Army. It was this battle which convinced those who were running the war for the US to use a helicopter strategy for moving troops into and out of battle.

There is a heart-breaking image in this video - of a very young Vietnamese boy who has been captured by the US military.
