This page is a tribute
to the Hill Tribe Pilots
their valor, their courage,
& their personal sacrifices.

    V.P. and his fellow countrymen
felt the War was in his country
his lands and did not want to have
the deaths of American allies on his hands ...

    General Vang Pao (V.P.) was engaged in a ground war against numerical superior odds from both the North Vietnamese Army (N.V.A.) and his own country's Communist politically aligned "Pathet Lao" (P.L.).   For more historical notes related to the Hmong and other Hill Tribes sacrifices and the Secret War, please read "Tragic Mountains".
    The American C.I.A. was involved in providing aid to the Royal Lao politically inclined royalist and V.P. was interested in ridding his mountains of the ugly North Vietnamese, aiding American Airmen and Pilots downed in enemy territory.


* John Sayavong is from the Hill Tribe Kmhmu and provided this list of valiant pilots.

Allies during the Wars fought in Southeast Asia (SEA)
- air support provided primarily by a bunch of guys known as the "Ravens"
with a "supporting cast" of Air America Pilots and even U.S.A.F. Personnel!
