1973 photo of Viet Cong and NVA POW's in purple prisoner garb getting out of transport truck and walking to rear cargo loading ramp of our C-130. Purpose was to release prisoners as part of newly signed "peace" treaty. This was at the notorious South Vietnam POW camp at Con Son Island off southern tip of Vietnam. Our destination was a remote dirt airfield near Hue just south of the DMZ. After landing the prisoners were released and quickly disappeared into thick jungle with no fanfare ... that after stripping themselves of the purple POW suits, head wraps and sandals leaving them in a pile on the dirt airstrip.
