Description

Luc Nam district, in Ha Bac province, is named in a January 1973 sighting of an American prisoner of war. Ha Bac lies northeast of Hanoi, in country many captured airmen passed through. The report arrived in the month the Paris accords were signed.

Prisoner sightings at that moment were checked against the lists of men Hanoi agreed to free. Anyone sighted but not listed became an open question for years. Analysts therefore handled January 1973 reports with special care. This file preserves one such sighting in full, a district-level claim from the war's final settlement.
