Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5 MB
Overview: The true story of the aircraft that disappeared between Saigon and Hanoi, one of the enduring mysteries of the Vietnam War.
Following the Geneva Accords in 1954, Vietnam found itself separated into North and South, with communist North Vietnam under the control of Ho Chi Minh. At the same time, the International Commission for Supervision and Control (ICSC) was established, whose role it was to oversee the implementation of the Accords.
On October 18, 1965, an ICSC aircraft, F-BELV, was on a regular weekly flight from Saigon to Hanoi, stopping at Phnom Penh, in Cambodia, and Vientiane, in Laos. Twenty minutes after leaving Vientiane, the captain contacted the authorities at Hanoi to give his ETA, but the aircraft never arrived. It is believed to be the only aircraft never to have been recovered from the Vietnam War.
But what really happened and why? Did the aircraft crash, or was it shot down? Did it happen over Laos or North Vietnam?
