This is a comprehensive story about an F4-C Phantom from the 558th TFS with the call sign Boxer 22. It became the focus of the largest SAR mission of the war.
"Earl Tilford in his book “Search and Rescue: The USAF in Southeast Asia” (1992), lists the Boxer 22 SAR
effort the largest on record: 336 sorties were flown during the rescue; five A-1 Skyraiders received heavy damage, and five of ten HH-3 helicopters ravaged by ground fire were later scrapped. "
