A photo taken April, 1975 by British news photographer Hugh Vaness shows a helicopter on the roof of a building frequently identified as the U.S. embassy during the final evacuation.
Actually, the aircraft is a CIA "Air America" helicopter, not military, and it is evacuating Vietnamese civilians from the Pittman Apartment Building in Saigon.
Earlier in the day, the U.S. Embassy was evacuated by helicopter as well, but not in the famous 'final evacuation' photograph.
