This mission log, compiled for the "Spads for SOG" project, documents a single day's worth of A-1 Skyraider combat sorties over Laos on 13 January 1970. Alongside routine strike and forward-air-control missions, the record captures a successful Search and Rescue operation: A-1 pilots located and protected an airman who had parachuted from the C-130 'Blind Bat' flareship, escorting rescue helicopters to complete the recovery. Records like this preserve the day-to-day reality of Air Commando support for MACV-SOG's clandestine cross-border operations during the Vietnam War. Project: 218871
