Air Vice Marshall Alan Reed would fly RF-4c Phantom Bombers during the Vietnam war. He would fly more than 100 missions over North Vietnam doing arial reconnaissance. The RF-4C Phantom was designed by McDonnell Douglas in response to a US Air Force request for a photo-reconnaissance aircraft with two crew members, supersonic speed, and a high altitude capability. The prototype first flew in May 1966 and entered service in November 1967 with the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing at Korat RTAFB, Thailand. The RF-4Cs were used extensively during the Vietnam War. They provided reconnaissance support for ground troops, performed battle damage assessment photography, and took pictures of enemy installations that were used to plan strikes by B-52 bombers against those targets. In this video, Captain John Methven (Ret) shares Australian soldier experiences as a platoon commander and Regiment Signals Officer with the 2nd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment that was stationed at the Australian base at Nui Dat. John has dedicated his life to fighting for the recognition of Vietnam Veterans and assisting veterans dealing with PTSD and the impacts of agent orange. John is the founder and curator of the National Vietnam Veterans Museum at Philip Island in Victoria Australia.
