Air America Exploits Come to Light

It seems that real Air America (not that liberal radio station) is finally getting some well needed positive attention.

"These Air America documents are essential to understanding a large untold history of America's involvement in Southeast Asia," said Paul Oelkrug, a coordinator at UT-Dallas' special collections department. He said they speak to "the covert side of the Cold War."

The records consist mainly of firsthand accounts of Air America missions and commendation letters from government officials, said Timothy N. Castle, a historian at the CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence.

The Fall of Saigon stuff alone will be worth reading once historians get a chance to write books using this source material. That book would contain both the known stuff and the secret stuff all mixed together.
