The US Evacuation of Saigon
In the last days of April 1975 thousands of American servicemen and Vietnamese civilians were airlifted out of Saigon as North Vietnamese communist troops moved into the city.
Memories of the helicopter flights out of the US embassy 40 years ago as the communists won the Vietnam War. Plus, the man who removed his own appendix, the end of Charles de Gaulle's political career and some era-defining jumping up and down - Jane Fonda's first workout video.
