Nicholas George Brooks, age 26, from Newburgh, New York, Orange county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Friday, January 2, 1970
Death details: On March 4, 1982, the Central Identification Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI, now DPAA) identified the remains of Lieutenant Commander Nicholas George Brooks, missing from the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Commander Brooks joined the U.S. Navy from New York and was a member of Attack Squadron 196. On January 2, 1970, he was the bombardier and navigator aboard an A-6A Intruder (bureau number 152937) on a strike mission over Laos. The Intruder went down during the mission, and LCDR Brooks was forced to bail out. Immediate search efforts were unsuccessful in locating the aircraft’s crew. LCDR Brooks was captured by enemy forces and died while in captivity. In February 1982, a Laotian local turned over a set of unidentified remains to U.S. custody. Forensic analysis identified the remains as those of LCDR Brooks later that year.
