ALL CONTACT LOST

Synopsis:

First Lieuenant  James H. Tucker was the pilot of an RF4C Phantom jet flying on an unarmed night reconnaissance flight over a heavily defended North Vietnamese anti-aircraft complex when all contact with their aircraft was lost. His backseater on the mission was Captain Warren L. Anderson. It was Anderson's third mission in Vietnam.

The mission was to photograph an anti-aircraft complex 15 miles north of Dong Hoi, North Vietnam. The aircraft was being monitored by forward radar units in South Vietnam. As the aircraft crossed a mountain range to descended on the target, radio and radar contact was lost, and could not be reestablished. An electronic search was begun immediately and a visual search as soon as daylight permitted. Nothing was ever found of the aircraft or its crew.  In 1973, 591 Americans were released from Vietnamese prisons; Anderson and Tucker were
   not among them. They remained Missing In Action.

Anderson was awarded the  Distinguished Flying Cross  for obtaining vital photos on an unarmed craft over the area where he later disappeared. Because there has never been any word of James Tucker or Warren Anderson, their families wonder if they are alive or dead. And, if alive, how much longer much they wait for their country to bring them home?
