Iron Birds provides a first-hand account of a series of clandestine, against-the-odds, terrain-hugging, high-speed helicopter missions. These missions are among the most heroic feats of military daring. Some ended in catastrophe; each grew progressively riskier as these missions took place. This documentary will reveal the details of one of the world's riskiest rescue missions of all time. Using exclusive interviews with two wounded survivors and a military intelligence officer who flew on the first mission, the project will give the world a first hand look at true courage.
