Service era: Vietnam

Date of death: Friday, April 24, 1970
Death details: On September 11, 2008, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Captain James Emory Cross, missing from the Vietnam War.
Captain Cross entered the U.S. Air Force from Ohio and served with 56th Special Operations Squadron. On April 24, 1970, he piloted a U-17B Skywagon as one of two crew members that took off from Udorn Airfield, Thailand, on an orientation flight mission over Xiangkhoang Province, Laos. The aircraft was struck by enemy ground fire over the Plain of Jars which caused it to crash and explode, killing Capt Cross. His remains could not be recovered at the time. Between 2004 and 2008, the crash site was located and excavated, recovering human remains and other material. Modern forensic techniques were eventually able to identify Capt Cross among the remains recovered.
