Special | 59m 6s

Col. Marty Mahrt recounts his experience of being shot down during the Vietnam War.

On May 10, 1966, Col. Marty Mahrt was shot down over hostile North Vietnam in what would be acknowledged as the farthest north ‘shoot down’ of the Vietnam War. Rather than spending years as a P.O.W., an intensive effort resulted in a stunning rescue that many have called “miraculous.”
