Date of death: Wednesday, May 22, 1968
Death details: On March 13, 2009, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) identified the remains of Chief Master Sergeant Calvin Charles Glover, missing from the Vietnam War. Chief Master Sergeant Glover joined the U.S. Air Force from Pennsylvania and was a member of the 41st Tactical Airlift Squadron. On May 22, 1968, he was the flight engineer aboard a C-130 Hercules with a crew of nine on a nighttime flare mission over northern Salavan Province, Laos. The Hercules crashed during its flight, killing all nine of its crew. Immediate search efforts could not be conducted due to heavy anti-aircraft fire in the area. Between 1989 and 2008, Laotian, Vietnamese, and American search teams conducted joint field investigations in the Quang Tri Province of Vietnam, recovering aircraft wreckage and human remains. In 2009, modern forensic techniques allowed for CMSgt Glover to be identified from among the remains recovered.
