23 miles from Hanoi and on Nov. 21, 1970 a raid involving a variety of aircraft
and Special Forces made a rescue attempt to free American POW's. The
mission involved no American deaths, but the POW's had been
moved from the camp 4 months
earlier, so none were freed.
The decals are contained on one
decal sheet and there are 6 pages of instructions which include color camo
layout images and plenty of text about each aircraft including painting
instructions. You are also provided with plenty of info about weapons
loadout.
This is another great decal sheet

variety of historically interesting aircraft which is always good to see.
