Just wondering how the cia knew that family was there and took pictures. Plus, at that time, didn’t you have to take the negatives to a shop to have them developed?
$25K at that time was quite a bit of money too.
Not sure how any of the photos were found?
A friend with the 5th SFG RVN, was passing through Da Nang (?), saw an unusual aircraft and took some pictures.
He sent the film off in the standard Kodak mailer, the airplane photos were ‘redacted’.
He was later requested to return all other prints and negatives.
