Why American Door Gunners Barely Survived in Vietnam

They were some of the most exposed soldiers of the entire Vietnam War — the American door gunners of the UH-1 Huey. Standing in an open doorway, with nothing but a bungee-mounted M60 and raw courage, these men faced 360-degree enemy fire, RPG ambushes, heavy machine guns, and the brutal physics of helicopter combat. This documentary reveals why their survival rate became one of the worst in modern U.S. military aviation. Through historical records, pilot reports, veteran accounts and battlefield analysis, we uncover the real reasons American door gunners were targeted first — and why so few made it home. No fiction. No exaggeration. Only history as it happened. 📌 Like the video, subscribe to the channel, and help preserve the stories of those who flew and fought in the open door.
