In May 1970, Aerial Photographs Revealed What U.S. Military Intelligence Believed Was A Pow Camp Near The Town Of Son Tay, Twentythree Miles West Of North Vietnams Capital City. When American Officials Decided The Prisoners Were Attempting To Send Signals, They Set In Motion A Daring Plan To Rescue The More Than Sixty Airmen Thought To Be Held Captive.On November 20, A Joint Group Of Volunteers From U.S. Army Green Berets And U.S. Air Force Special Operations Forces Perfectly Executed The Raid, Only To Find The Prisoners' Quarters Empty; The Pows Had Been Moved To A Different Location. Initially, The Son Tay Raid Was A Devastating Disappointment To The Men Who Risked Their Lives To Carry It Out. Many Vocal Critics Labeled It As A Spectacular Failure Of Our Nations Intelligence Network.

The Operation Also Restored The Prisoners Faith That Their Nation Had Not Forgotten Them.John Gargus Not Only Participated In The Planning Phase Of The Son Tay Rescue, But Also Flew As A Lead Navigator For The Strike Force. This Revised Edition Incorporates The Most Recent Information From Raid Participants And Also Includes Recent Translations Of North Vietnamese Perspectives.
