Gallery: Joe Driscoll Scarface
A line of UH-1 helicopters sits staged for a mission, part of the air support network tied to Operation Tailwind. The 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos leaned on rotary-wing assets like these, covered by the Marine Corps "Scarface" gunships of VMO-2, to carry reconnaissance teams deep into contested territory and bring them out again.
