"It is a story that hasn't been told before because much about the secret war in Laos is still classified. The Ravens, never more than a few dozen at a time, were stationed in Laos from the mid-1960s through the American withdrawal from Indochina in 1973. They dressed in civilian clothes because the United States was pretending to honor the neutrality of Laos under the Geneva Accords of 1962. They were not glamorous fighter jocks, but forward air controllers with the radio call sign 'Raven.' Their job was dirty and dangerous. They flew 12-hour combat days over Laos in light prop planes, directing an increasing volume of U.S. air strikes against both the Ho Chi Minh trail and advances of communist troops in the northern part of the country."
