Retired Air Force Colonel Marty Donohue, a pioneer of U.S. Air Force Jolly Green Giant helicopter tactics, describes his tour flying search and rescue missions out of Udorn RTAFB with the 37th ARRS. He fondly recalls running marathons, drinking beer, and playing racquetball when he wasn’t out trying to rescue American pilots who had been shot down, forced to bail out, or crashed behind enemy lines. In 1970, he returned to Southeast Asia to fly the lead helicopter on the Son Tay Raid, which was sent to rescue POWs from a prison camp just 30 miles outside of Hanoi in North Vietnam. He describes taking out the guard towers and landing his empty helicopter, waiting to exfiltrate the first load of American prisoners, only to discover that there were no prisoners in the camp, a fact which has haunted him. “That is in my memory, and I hate it to be in my memory because we were there, and we would have got them. But they had been moved … our intelligence wasn't good in North Vietnam.”
