Labeled 'Tailwind AO' in the collector's own hand, this landscape view documents the rugged, forested Area of Operations in Laos where Operation Tailwind -- a September 1970 MACV-SOG cross-border raid -- was conducted. Gene McCarley, whose collection this image comes from, was among the participants in that operation, which remains one of the most storied missions of the secret war in Laos. Project: 219454
