Captain Charles Lee Hoskins was reported missing Feb 16,1971 while on an operational mission in Laos. The F-4D aircraft he was co-piloting apparently was struck by hostile fire and crashed in a ball of fire. No parachutes were seen and no beepers were heard. His status was changed to Killed in Action on Nov 27, 1973. Captain Hoskins was a Mason, Scottish Rite. He was also a National Honor Society member. His rank status is unclear. Most sources say he was a 1st Lt. when killed and only posthumously promoted to captain but a photo of him receiving his Air Medal shows him wearing captain's bars.
This Veteran has an (IMO) In Memory Of Headstone in The United States Air Force Academy Cemetery, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
