RustyCanteen Posted May 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2017 I was browsing the Internet Movie Database today when I found a pleasant surprise, it seems there is a Vietnam USAF film currently in the works, telling the story of William Pitsenbarger (who was awarded the MOH). For those who may be unfamiliar with Pitsenbarger's story, here is a his wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Pitsenbarger "34-years after his death, Airman William H. Pitsenbarger, Jr. ("Pits") is awarded the nations highest military honor for his actions on the battlefield. One of the great untold stories of the Vietnam era." Link to the IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783640/?ref_=adv_li_tt This looks like a star-studded film, so it should be a good one.

RustyCanteen Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 24, 2017 So Others May Live I am hopeful that it does accurately portray the dangers and heroism of these men. From the write-up on the IMDB, I believe the film must be set in the year 2000, with flashbacks set in 1966.

RustyCanteen Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted September 26, 2017 The IMDB page for this film says it is in 'Post-Production', so perhaps this will be a 2018 release? They also have a movie poster up, although it shows a UH 'Huey' instead of the HH-43 'Pedro' Pitsenbarger flew his last mission on. There probably are not a great many surviving HH-43 airframes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
