Official synopsis Publisher
“The children of Vietnam were the true casualties of war. It was our job to get those babies out of harm’s way”…But on April 4, 1975, one of the planes performing that mission crashed as it was attempting to airlift orphans out of Vietnam, falling from twenty-five thousand feet into a rice paddy near the Saigon River. This is the story of surviving crew member Phillip R. Wise, who nearly died from his injuries, and how he stopped asking why he survived, and concentrated on meeting and fellowshipping with the adult Operation Babylift orphans.–Summary by cataloging agency
