Quick little article on the creation of MIKE Force https://arsof-history.org/articles/v5n2_mike_force_page_1.html

Side note: one of the coolest things about this article for me is there is a great aerial picture of Ho Ngoc Tau, the SF camp at which B-56/Project Sigma was based, and from which my dad ran recon.

Nice find. This sent me looking for more photos of the camps shown. There are quite a few of Bu Dop, including some nice colour aerial ones on Google.

When I can get a new printer I'll scan in some aerial photos I have found of various III Corps camps that my dad took in late '66/early '67. I can't recall which camps off the top of my head but they're not bad.

Cool - that Australian advisors book I am reading has various good aerial photos and diagrams of various camps - we should start a thread on it.
