SPYCRAFT 101

 Today we're going back into the archives again with a replay of episode 60, originally published in September 2022. We're excited to reintroduce you to the incredible story of Toby Scott and Jerry Daniels. Randolph Toby Scott is a former smoke jumper with the US Forest Service, who later worked in Southeast Asia under contract with Continental Air Services during the Secret War in Laos. He also took part in Operation Cold Feet in the Arctic Circle, one of the most daring and ambitious missions of the Cold War.
Toby was right in the middle of some incredible events over the years, and he's got a lot to share in particular about his very good friend Jerry Daniels. Jerry was a smoke jumper and continental air sources employee as well, who was later recruited by the CIA to become a case officer himself. Jerry spent nearly 20 years altogether in Southeast Asia until 1982 when he suffered a tragic and mysterious fate that continued to raise many questions for the next 35 years.
This episode contains details about Operation Cold Feet that expert and friend of Spycraft 101 Lee Gossett belives have never been made public before.
