Donald Michael Lint, age 21, from Des Moines, Iowa.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: April 22, 1970
Death details: On September 1, 1995, Joint Task Force-Full Accounting (JTF-FA, now DPAA) identified the remains of Senior Master Sergeant Donald Michael Lint, missing from the Vietnam War.
Senior Master Sergeant Lint joined the U.S. Air Force from Iowa and was a member of the 16th Special Operations Squadron. On April 22, 1970, he was the flight engineer aboard an AC-130 gunship (serial number 54-1625) on an armed reconnaissance mission over enemy targets in Saravane Province, Laos. The AC-130 was downed by anti-aircraft fire during the mission, and SMSgt Lint was killed in the crash. Search and rescue efforts were unable to locate his body immediately following the incident. In November 1993, a joint U.S. and Laotian investigative team recovered remains from a crash site associated with this AC-130. In 1995, forensic analysis identified some of the recovered remains as those of SMSgt Lint.
Senior Master Sergeant Lint is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
