Beginning in 1951, the CIA began to hire smokejumpers for its unconventional war operations, employing at least 115 during the Cold War. Smokejumpers are those men and women in the northwestern U.S. who jump from planes to battle fire. This video describes why the CIA hired smokejumpers, how it found them, where they were deployed (Secret War in Laos, Tibet, Taiwan) and what jobs they did. Dr. Paul T. Carter provides the answers in this fascinating, action video with interviews, old film footage, war scenes, declassified documents, rare photos, and more. This version is the enhanced audio version.
