About this Video
 

This video is a compilation from several recons around the province December 1967 and January 1968, just prior to the TET offensive. Original was filmed on Super 8 and transferred to digital format in 1995.

At this time the airfield at 1ATF Nui Dat was undergoing reconstruction - being lengthened and levelled, and this can clearly be seen.

The video also shows trees previously treated by herbicide spraying (now known as Agent Orange) surrounded by regrowth.

Pilots are 2Lts Steve Tizzard and Peter Garton.

Aircraft, Cessna 180.
