EP232 Six Years In The Hanoi Hilton | Captain Charlie Plumb

Roll With The Punches

Every conversation I have on this who shapes me and changes me and thus changes the world I live in… perhaps none as consciously and profoundly as the conversation you’re about to listen to.

Captain Charlie Plumb is my guest today and it is an honour to be bringing his story to you.

In 1967 after 74 successful combat missions over Vietnam, Fighter Pilot Captain Charlie Plumb was shot down in his F-4 Phantom jet... On his 75th mission, only 5 days before he was to return home.

Captured, brutally tortured and imprisoned in the Hanoi Hilton where Charlie remained a prisoner of war for the next 6 years.

The conditions and cruelty that Charlie lived through are beyond comprehension and we barely even scratched the surface of them today. Yet Charlies interpretation of events as he recounts them and the profound way that he and his fellow prisoners of war developed the fortitude to not only survive but to thrive throughout and beyond this experience has to be one of the biggest beacons of hope for many of us as we find our way through our own versions of adversity.

I can only hope a little of Charlies spirit and will rubs off on you like it sure did me.
