Misty FAC 'Delta Points' Reference Map, Laos/South Vietnam Border, Lynn Farnsworth Collection

A hand-drawn 'Delta Points' reference map used by Misty Fast FAC pilots and MACV-SOG planners along the Laos/South Vietnam border. Numbered code points allowed aircrews and ground teams to report sensitive locations over open radio without disclosing them to enemy listeners -- an essential tool for operations along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
