There have been various failed rescue attempts to free American prisoners of war (POWs) throughout history. One notable example is the attempted rescue of American POWs held in Son Tay Prison Camp in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In November 1970, a joint U.S. Army and Air Force task force carried out a daring operation called Operation Ivory Coast, but unfortunately, the prisoners had been moved prior to the raid, resulting in no successful rescues.
