Hambleton was an avid golfer, and used certain holes on golf courses to relay his position to the extraction team where he was planning on for pick up.
Another officer played with him and knew the courses.
Well, I’m a bit biased & feel The Green Berets is the best Vietnam movie. My Dad, Mom, both sisters (twins) & I were extras.Filmed ‘67 & ‘68. It is the only movie about Vietnam filmed during Vietnam. John Wayne and LBJ were best buds so that helped.
Absolutely.
Gene Hackman played Lt. Colonel (?) Hambleton
Danny Glover was a spotter plane pilot.
In a nutshell, Hambleton was an electronic warfare expert flying a mission over enemy territory, his plane was hit, he was the only one that was able to parachute out....

If you've seen the movie (based on true events), you'll understand.

Great movie, although somewhat embellished .
I believe Roger Ebert said it was the best Viet Nam movie.
