Unlike more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the common image of America’s war in Vietnam is sweaty grunts fighting insurgents in jungles, mountains and other remote areas.

Throughout the conflict, however, the Viet Cong brought common terror tactics to hit U.S. troops and their South Vietnamese allies in the middle of major urban areas.

A rare film shot by representatives from North American Aviation shows just how dangerous the situation really was in the capital Saigon and other major cities. In between tours with the U.S. Navy, the contractors stayed in the same quarters as their military guides.

The San Diego Air and Space Museum obtained the footage from the now defunct Ryan Aeronautical Company. In September 2016, the museum put a digital copy online.
