Refugees at Pendleton Seen as Middle Class Despite Flight
At Camp Pendleton a large wave of Vietnamese refugees, many middle class and dependents of American contractors and officials, arrives amid a recession. Officials warn high risk cases target embassy staff and journalists, while preparations anticipate up to 20,000 at Pendleton, Ft. Chaffee, and Eglin. The flight marks the largest emergency airlift in aviation history, with refugees largely escaping to freedom and adjusting to a new world. Rene Ngo, 29, ex-University of Saigon professor, is among the arrivals with sponsorship from a US-based relative.
