Jim Morris (author of War Story) published his story about the making of the Disney movie, Operation Dumbo Drop, about 20 years ago in Vietnam magazine. The Disney comedy, starring Danny Glover and Ray Liotta, is about the efforts of the Green Berets in transporting elephants (hence "Dumbo") via helicopter over the Vietnamese jungle while the war was going on. Pretty crazy...and based on a real event. Turns out making the movie was just as fraught with adventure as the actual elephant moving done back in 1968!
