Episode 41 - Doug Petersen (Army, Vietnam Veteran)

Host Tim K. sits down in Benbrook, Texas with Vietnam Veteran, Doug Petersen. It’s hard to imagine for many being 21 years old, flying a multi million dollar machine headlong into the jungles of Vietnam… much less doing it with nothing more than a .38 revolver to defend you and your crew. On the podcast, Doug discusses the life of being a dust off pilot during the Vietnam War. He speaks on the harsh truths of an unseen enemy and a seemingly never-ending mission; where exhaustion was just as much a danger as the enemy below. Petersen speaks on not only surviving Vietnam but going on to serve a distinguished career as an aviator and aviation instructor in the United States Army.
