Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. Lucky Tiger Combat Operations

Abstract

The following Special report, ''Lucky Tiger, Combat Operations" depicts the 606th ACS flying A-26 and T-28 aircraft in the BARREL ROLL and STEEL TIGER areas of Laos to interdict enemy lines of communication leading into South Vietnam. They also supported Royal Lao troops engaged with enemy ground forces. The results of these operations are of significant value in evaluating the effectiveness of this type of airpower in the Southeast Asia conflict. A previous document, "Lucky Tiger, SAW Operations," published 31 May 67, discussed the 606th ACS corollary responsibilities of providing training for the Royal Thai Air Force and establishing Civic Action Programs with Royal Thai Government agencies.
