Casualties Told in Post War Era
In four months since the Vietnam cease fire 13 American servicemen were killed in Cambodia Laos and Vietnam with two missing possibly POWs. Three deaths occurred in Cambodia while two pilots vanished April 18 in an Air Force F4 Phantom believed down in area held by Cambodian rebels. The two missing are Captains Samuel L. James and Douglas K. Martin. Eight of the 10 other deaths occurred in Laos on an EC47 shot down February 5. Two Army helicopter crewmen died in South Vietnam in separate incidents. Officials see little hope for any of the 1,267 missing before the cease fire being alive.
