OTD: 58 years ago, F-4Cs from the 8th TFW, led by Col. Robin Olds, and electronically disguised as F-105s, tricked 16 NVAF MiG-21s into battle at a disadvantage (Jan 2, 1967). The result: Seven MiGs went down over Phúc Yên, for zero American losses. USAF’s Operation Bolo, one of the most elaborate sting operations in military aviation history, was a resounding success.
