Donald W. Bruch, Jr. a 24-year-old who was lost north of Hanoi on April 29, 1966, will finally come home to East Petersburg, Pennsylvania on May 29th. From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pownetwork.org\/bios\/b\/b436.htm\">POW Network<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On April 29, 1966, 1Lt. Donald W. Bruch Jr., was the pilot of an F105D sent on a combat mission over North Vietnam. As his aircraft was about 12 miles northeast of the city of Hanoi, it was struck by antiaircraft fire while making an attack on the target. Lt. Bruch was instructed to climb and as he did the aircraft went out of control, entered a steep dive, and crashed. No parachutes were seen and no beepers were heard. Donald Bruch was not recovered.<\/p>\n<p>Public records available from the U.S. Air Force indicate only that 1Lt. Bruch was killed on April 29, 1966 on a combat mission. The Defense Intelligence Agency further refines the classification of Killed\/Body Not Recovering by adding an enemy knowledge qualifier of Category, concluding that the enemy definitely knows his fate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us a link to AR Gunners which reports that U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. &hellip; <a title=\"1st Lt.
