These 1970s USAF news segments include: installation of a new Minuteman III ICBM as part of the USAF's nuclear deterrent, use of LGB laser guided bombs by U.S. Air Force strike aircraft as part of the precision strike effort in Vietnam,  and an interesting segment showing a combat rescue in Vietnam.  In this segment combat cameraman Vietnam Staff Sgt. Jim Wine (sp?), flying out of Da Nang, discusses the rescue effort and describes how he filmed the rescue mission from the back of a helicopter while the rescue helicopter was taking enemy fire.
