Description
A cave on the Houei Vong, where American pilots were held, is located relative to Ban Kang Muong in an April 1967 item. Ban Kang Muong sits in the Laotian panhandle, near trail country. Caves in the limestone hills served the war as depots, shelters, and cells.
Locating a prison cave by its nearest village gave airmen and planners a usable point. Such sites were nearly invisible from the air and hard to reach on foot. The men inside lived cut off in a way few camp prisoners were. This item fixes one cave prison on the map of Laos's hidden war.
