Frank C. III Parker from Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, Montgomery county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: December 29, 1967
Death details: On March 10, 2000, Joint Task Force–Full Accounting (JTF-FA, now DPAA) identified the remains of Major Frank Claveloux Parker III, missing from the Vietnam War.
Major Parker entered the U.S. Air Force from Virginia and served with the 314th Tactical Airlift Wing. On December 29, 1967, he was a flight engineer aboard a C-130E Hercules (tail number 64-0547) that took off from Nha Trang Air Base, South Vietnam, on an operational mission over North Vietnam. While flying over Lai Chau Province en route to the target, the aircraft crashed into a mountainside, killing Maj Parker. His remains were not recovered at the time. Between 1992 and 1995, a joint U.S./Vietnamese team located and investigated the crash site, where they recovered human remains. In 1993, the Vietnamese government also turned over human remains and artifacts associated with this loss. In 2000, U.S. investigators identified Maj Parker from these remains.
