I recently bought a DVD collection containing a huge number of historical films, most produced by the Air Force and Army during the early Vietnam years (1966-1968). One of the documentaries is titled "There Is A Way." It follows a group of pilots through their experiences as part of the 421st TFS during 1966. It is a very candid hour-long look at what life as part of this squadron was like, on and off duty. Several one-on-one interviews with the pilots give the viewer a chance to see their professionalism, high morale in spite of monumental odds, and their sense of humor in spite of everything else. The one thing that frustrated me was that none of the pilots was identified by neame, and their nametags were just a little too fuzzy to read in the video. I wonder if any of out '105 community could shed some light on this film. It also has some of the best footage of Thuds doing their thing that I have ever seen. I searched the web for a link to this film, but came up empty. Hats off to the River Rats.:guinness:
