DUSTOFF: Angels of Mercy
by William S. Phillips
With plexiglass fragments from
his helicopter's windshield buried in his hand, calf and thigh, Michael
J. Novosel, pilot for the 82nd Medical Detachment, steadied the 'copter
as another soldier pulled a wounded soldier to safety. Met by
intense ground fire, Novosel still managed to save 29 soldier by continuously
going back into enemy fire again and again. For his actions, Michael
J. Novosol received the Congressional Medal Of Honor.
This print is a fine tribute
to Army aviators, their crew and the gunships that protected them.
It is countersigned by by both Mike Novosol and his son, Mike Jr.
They were the only father and son team to fly in the same unit in Vietnam.
Ironically, they both had the task of rescuing each other at different
times during their tours of duty.
