Description

During Operation Frequent Wind, many natives of South Vietnam did everything they could to leave their country. More people were evacuated than the operation's planners anticipated. They thought they would be moving about 100 people, but when it was over they had relocated 1,373 Americans and 5,595 foreign refugees.
