Thomas Franklin Case from Thomson, Georgia, McDuffie county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Tuesday, May 31, 1966
Death details: On February 19, 1987, the Central Identification Lab-Hawaii (CILHI, now DPAA) identified the remains of Colonel Thomas Franklin Case, missing from the Vietnam War.
Colonel Case, who joined the U.S. Air Force from Georgia, served with the 61st Troop Carrier Squadron. On May 31, 1966, Col Case piloted a C-130 Hercules (tail number 64-0511) departing from Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam, on a classified bombing mission using special weapons against the Thanh Hoa Bridge in North Vietnam. During the bombing run, the Hercules was shot down and Col Case was killed. Hostile presence in the area prevented immediate recovery efforts. In 1986, the Vietnamese government repatriated remains which were later identified as those of Colonel Case.
