Dear Sparky,
Two USN A-6A Intruders from VA-196A off USS Constellation
were reported shot down by Chinese MiG-19 aircraft when they inadvertently
crossed into Chinese airspace on 21 August, 1967
A-6A buno 152627
Crew:
Lt(jg) Dain Vanderlin Scott (KIA)
Lt(jg) Forrest George Trembley (KIA)
A-6A buno 152625
Crew:
Lt. Cdr Jimmy Lee Buckley (KIA)
Lt. Robert James Flynn (POW) (Ejected)
However Lt. Flynn who was injured during his ejection contradicts this version
of events and states that he was shot down over North Vietnam and taken to
China.
Suggest you look at the following POW web page
http://www.scopesys.com/cgi/bio2.cgi?bio=F049
Also go to the search page
http://www.scopesys.com/powmia/powsearch.html
and in the Country of Loss box click on China from the drop down list.
When the list of Blue names appears click on each one individually to get to
their biography.
Hope this helps
Regards
