Korean War Pictures - Helicopter With Wounded Soldiers

COMBAT CARGO, KOREA -- A helicopter, carrying two seriously wounded UN soldiers, is about to land gently at a front line airstrip in Korea where the soldiers will soon be placed aboard a Combat Cargo C-54 transport for the flight to Japan. U.S. Air Force and Army hospitals specializing in the type of wounds these men have received are equipped with the knowledge and methods needed to place them on the road to recovery. However, the speed with which wounded are transferred to these hospitals is oftentimes the factor which may spell life or death. (circa June 1952)
