Jay Yager Throwing a Bronze Airplane is like Learning to Walk

	USA 1982 Videotape, 26:30, black-and-white

A former crack trooper puts on his uniform just once more, throws a bronze aircraft into the grass and talks nervously, but as cool and clinically as he can, about his experience in Vietnam. After a round-up of training, carreer and medals there is a section about combat experiences and war wounds. In the third episode he has taken off the uniform and talks about today and tomorrow. Does he ever dream of Vietnam? 'You should really ask my wife', he replies and he throws the aircraft into the grass once again.
