Operation Air Rescue / Battle Taxi

During the Korean War, U.N. forces learn to depend on the Air Rescue Service branch of the American Air Force, whose dedicated pilots often getting in great danger while using their helicopters to rescue the wounded. Edwards is in turn cautioned by Lt. Col. Philip Stoneham, that his unit has had more helicopters out of commission than any other, and that he must improve his safety record.
The next evening, Edwards commands Stacy to accompany him during a briefing, which they explain the ARS's function. Edwards then explains that due to the limited range of the helicopters, they have an ARS station on one of the northernmost islands held by U.N. troops, although it is deep in enemy territory. While they fly over enemy territory, Stacy sees an abandoned enemy truck and decides to use its gasoline in the helicopter.
Later, when Slats lowers the sling, Smiley is killed by enemy fire, and Stacy is shot in the chest. Finally, Edwards relays the enemy's position and jet pilot Sam bombs them. Edwards lands and rescues Stacy and his crew, and later, after he has recuperated, Stacy proudly delivers Edwards' speech about the ARS to a new group of jet pilots.
