Ropey old recordings of radio broadcasts about the Vietnam war?

Question

Hey everyone,

I've searched YouTube etc but was wondering if there's some kind of old historical database where old radio reports would be stored?

The quality really doesn't matter - in fact the more old and ropey , the better!

Anyone know of such a place? Reports about troops progress in the war - be it news presenters talking about western soldiers being killed or even new advances made.

I'm a bit stuck and would prefer real authentic bits of news rather than ADR'ing fake ones and adding crusty old recording sounds on top! Would really need about 3 different incidents. I've got propaganda sounds for the war off of archive.org - but half way through the short piece I want to then play some recordings of how it ACTUALLY went. Any help or links would be brilliant! Thanks :)

Oh ho, I found a few more that might be of interest to people in future if they're making backgrounds for war drama's.
