Captain Herold there was part of joint Navy/ Air Force in which was called Operation Phou Phiang II
THAT was in bombing the shit out of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Heard the squawk on the radio at the time
U.S. Air Force Captain Richard Walter Herold was declared Missing in Action on September 2, 1972 after a midair aircraft collision over Laos. Richard was 27 year old pilot from Plattsburgh, New York. Detachment 1, 56th Special Operations Wing. Tragically, Richard has not made it home.🇺🇸
