Douglas Miller deployed to Vietnam in 1968 as a helicopter pilot with A/3/17 CAV. Between combat operations, Miller was tasked with investigating helicopter accidents; photographing crash scenes, collecting witness accounts, and providing an aviator’s perspective on the case. After a year back in the United States, he redeployed to Vietnam in 1971 with the 12th Aviation Group.
