 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:


Major Smith was a Covey Forward Air Controller assigned to the 20th Tactical Air Support Squadron at Da Nang. He was flying O-2A (S/N 67-21405) in the "Steel Tiger" area of southern Laos when he was lost. The aircraft was believed hit by anti-aircraft fire near Ban Daktring about 25 miles southwest of Kham Duc. A beeper was heard but no trace of Major Smith was found. There is some evidence that he was captured and held prisoner by the Laotians. He remains MIA.

This Veteran has an (IMO) In Memory Of Headstone in Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial, Hawaii
