Summary

Description

A U.S. Air Force Sikorsky H-5 of the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron lands in Korea to evacuate wounded.

Original caption: "Even though "Armistice" talks are in progress at Kaesong, Korea, the mission of the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron continues. A helicopter of the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron is shown as it settles gently to Korean soil to take on an injured soldier being carried in a stretcher by medics. In a matter of minutes this soldier will be under the professional care of a medical officer at one of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals at the rear. Two Korean laborers have stacked their "A" frames to watch the patient loaded into the helicopter capsules. More than 2,300 lives have been saved by Air Rescue personnel who are serving the U.S. Far East Air Forces during the Korean war. This number represents rescues made by all the 3rd Air Rescue aircraft."
