As his service in Vietnam was coming to an end, U.S. Army combat
cameraman David Plenn put a group of 16mm films into a box and shipped
them back to the United States. These films included both material he'd
shot as a cinematographer for the Army, and materials shot by other
staff members. The films remained in their box for three decades while
Plenn pursued a successful career as a Hollywood cameraman. In the 2000s
he donated the films to Periscope Film's archive in hopes of having
them preserved and made available to the public. Within these motion
pictures you'll see unedited "dailies" shot from approximately
1967-1970, including footage of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on
one of his visits to S.E. Asia, and other rare material.
This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest
historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage
collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available
for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit
