Over South Vietnam, June 11, 1971: An OV-1 Mohawk reconnaissance plane from the Army's 131st Aviation Co. flies over South Vietnam's A Shau Valley. With a top speed of only about 300 miles per hour, the Mohawk's pilots were often kept busy dodging surface-to-air missiles and much faster MiG fighters.
