Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and operational; themes: military deployment, aerial cavalry, field operations; style notes: black-and-white, wide shots of terrain and close-ups of military hardware; high-angle shots of helicopter movement

Soldiers are shown in a field with a helicopter landing nearby; a voiceover states that the first copter load of aerial cavalry is arriving. The helicopter is marked with a U.S. star insignia and is seen hovering close to the ground.

“In a matter of minutes, the first copter load of aerial cavalry was arriving, fully equipped, fresh, ready for action.” 18:08 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
