THIS WEEK'S GUEST
Documentary filmmaker Ian Adelson, and his grandfather, U.S. Air Force veteran and former Misty squadron flight surgeon Dean Echenberg, join us to talk about their work on the documentary "The Misty Experiement"

The film tells the story of the special U.S. Air Force squadron whose pilots volunteered for one of the Vietnam War’s most dangerous air missions: to search for enemy supply transports and anti-aircraft installations concealed along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and direct rescue operations for U.S. and allied aircrews shot down within the web of trail paths and waterways.
