Phil Marshall is the author of 18 and counting books about the history and heroism of Dustoff huey pilots in the Vietnam War. He is also a Dustoff pilot himself who was wounded during a daring nighttime mission sent to rescue three seriously wounded Americans. 

Dustoff was the callsign for the green Huey helicopters with the Red Cross often painted on the nose or the side of the aircraft to signify its role as a medical emergency platform. They’d fly day and night, unarmed without door guns and without night vision, into hot landing zones to rescue wounded soldiers, civilians, children, and even animals. Sometimes they were shot down or crashed. If the pilots and aircrew survived death and weren’t rescued, they were either executed on the spot or taken to a prisoner of war camp to endure brutal interrogation techniques and torture. 

Despite this possibility, Dustoff teams always answered the call. 

Phil is planning to open the world's first Huey Museum in Indiana, United States.
