Below is a list of films produced by Will Lucas based on letters he wrote home from Vietnam in 1966 and 67. Will served as a radio operator with the 4th Engineering Battalion, 4th Infantry. The battalion's first mission was to take an open field and build a base camp for the regular infantry to move in. We travelled as a group to Vietnam by ship, and hit Pleiku just as the monsoon season began.
