A Town Awaits Rescue
by Helicopter
Until helicopters came, res
cuers in boats often faced
tragic decisions: with room for
only two, and ten people hud
dled on a tottering roof, who
was to go and who be left?
These villagers on Overflakkee
Island were all evacuated by
a copter which landed on a
bit of roadway beside their
stricken homes.
After the rescues, nine U. S.
Air Force helicopters paid a
call on Queen Juliana at Soest -
dijk. Here Princess Margriet
gets set for a spin over the
royal palace.
