Death details: On July 19, 1995, Joint Task Force–Full Accounting (JTF-FA, now DPAA) identified the remains of Captain Arnold William Lamp Jr., missing from the Vietnam War.
Captain Lamp entered the U.S. Air Force from Ohio and was a member of the 16th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. On April 12, 1969, he was the navigator aboard an RF-4C Phantom II (tail number 67-0446, call sign “Sage 13”) on a photo reconnaissance mission over Lam Dong Province, South Vietnam. While descending over the target area, the aircraft suffered an in-flight failure and crashed into a jungle-covered mountain slope. Capt Lamp was killed in the crash but his body was not recovered at the time. Between 1992 and 1994, a team recovered human remains and artifacts associated with this aircraft’s loss, and U.S. analysts used modern forensic techniques and circumstantial evidence and identified Capt Lamp from these remains.
