Lloyd C. "Pat" Landry was a Paramilitary Officer in the Special Activities Division of the Central Intelligence Agency during the 1950s up until the 1970s.
[1] Landry joined Central Intelligence Agency in the early 1950s following combat service in the U.S. Army in World War II.
The command center was relocated from Vientiane to Udorn Royal Thai Air Base in northern Thailand.
The move to Udorn made sense because that large base was capable of supporting an enormous Air Branch flight and maintenance program, as well as serving as the center of Agency theater photo-reconnaissance and photo-analysis efforts in support of SOG special operations in the Laos theater of operations.
In later years, Landry owned and operated (along with the "Dragon Lady") several "watering holes" in Thailand, including the Cowboy (Lone Star) Bar in Washington Square, Bangkok.
