Edward Harvey Johnson, age 40, from Newberg, Oregon, Yamhill county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Thursday, December 21, 1972
Death details: On May 23, 1989, the Central Identification Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI, now DPAA) identified the remains of Colonel Edward Harvey Johnson, missing from the Vietnam War.
Colonel Johnson entered the U.S. Air Force from Oregon and was a member of the 325th Bombardment Squadron. On December 21, 1972, he was the radar navigator aboard a B-52G Stratofortress (tail number 58-0198, call sign “Olive 01”) that took off from Guam on a bombing mission over North Vietnam. During the flight, “Olive 01” was hit by an enemy surface-to-air missile that caused it to crash and explode near Hanoi in Ha Tay Province, and Col Johnson was killed in the incident. The wreckage landed near Phuc Yen City, but the enemy presence prevented search and recovery efforts and his body was not recovered at the time. In 1988, the Vietnamese government repatriated human remains that U.S. analysts identified as those of Col Johnson.
