Description
Two American pilots were captured during a three-day air attack in the Sam Neua area, a February 1969 CIA report states. Sam Neua sits in Houa Phan province in northeastern Laos, near the Vietnamese border. The region formed part of the secret war fought alongside Vietnam.
The report preserves what was known about the capture close to the event. Such notices fed records on prisoners and missing men that families and officials relied on. Laos cases often stayed murkier than those in Vietnam, with fewer witnesses and less access. This file adds one dated, placed incident to that hard accounting.
