VO: "When a transport can't get him into certain areas he uses a helicopter to observe at close range the difficulties of tactical air support in the mountainous terrain of Korea... Vandenburg's tour of Korea was top secret until it was completed, as the envelope carried by an aide indicates. Not top secret is the General's pleasure in smoking."
