Annotated Misty FAC Navigation Map, Laos-Vietnam Border Region

This annotated topographic map of the Laos-Vietnam border region was used for Misty Fast Forward Air Controller mission planning during the Vietnam War. Hand-drawn radials, coordinates, and notes -- including a reference to 'Capt Mike Cummings, Misty' -- reflect the detailed navigation required for these high-risk, low-altitude reconnaissance missions over the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
