One day in February 1968, a US Army pilot named Ken Lee was spotting targets just south of the DMZ when he was bounced by a MiG17 Fresco of the VPAF. Minutes later, Ken Lee would become probably the unlikeliest MiG killer of the Vietnam War.

This is his story and also that of the OV1 Mohawk.

Sources:

In my view, "OV1 Mohawk In Action" by Terry Love is the best single volume on the Mohawk. Out of print, but readily available

"OV1 Mohawk Walk Around" by Ken Neubeck is a really useful pictorial guide to the aircraft

I used "Operators' Manual Army Models OV1A, OV1B and OV1C Aircraft" (TM 55151020410) for detailed aspects of the early Mohawk

I used "Operator's Manual OV1D / RV1D Aircraft" (TM 55151021310) for detailed aspects of the OV1D

The CIA document "The Mohawk Surveillance System" contains useful information on the SLAR/ IR configuration used in Vietnam (CIARDP79B01709A0022001100124)

The DTIC report "Conquest Of The Darkness By Management Of The Stars" by Dr Robert S. Wiseman is the only useful reference I found to the Seamore programme and the development of starlight scopes for use in Vietnam
