Codename BARBARA

DAYTON, Ohio - The CIA made this detailed model of the Son Tay prison camp after studying reconnaissance photographs. The raiders used the model in planning and for memorizing the camp’s layout. The model was called BARBARA, after a USAF secretary, Barbara L. Strosnider, who worked very long days supporting planning for the raid. The model is on display in the Return with Honor: American Prisoners of War exhibit in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo)
