Helicopter Staging Area at Fire Support Base, Believed to be LZ Lane, During Operation Tailwind, September 1970
Helicopter gunships and transports crowd a forward fire support base landing zone, believed to be LZ Lane -- one of the staging bases used to launch and support MACV-SOG's Operation Tailwind in September 1970. Scarred, cratered hillsides in the background bear witness to the intensity of the fighting in this remote border region. Project: 219519
