AT FRONT LINES IN KOREA -- Tragedy is again by-passed as another fallen UN soldier receives blood plasma while being gingerly lifted into a stretcher of a U.S. Far East Air Forces H-5 helicopter of the 3rd Air Rescue Squadron. The wounded man will be delivered to rear area medical facilities in a matter of a few moments. (circa May 1951)
