flights were by Ed Daly from World Airways. He had been a troop carrier for the US with 3 Boeing 727's. His story of rescue begins in Da Nang and continued through Saigon. The US had abandoned Da Nang and said there would be no more flights but without authorization Daly had his flight crew go to pick up some women and children Here is a telling of the story and the heroism. I note that Daly not only had his planes and crews for the Da Nang run but he also continued unauthorized flights of women and children out of Saigon later. Also a video of the Da Nang flight.
