Navigator forfeits pay for bomb error
An Air Force radar navigator aboard a B52 bomber that dropped bombs on Neak Luong village in Cambodia and killed 137 was suspended from duty and ordered to forfeit 700 pay. Captain Prince A Brumfield faced the penalty along with Maj. Donald R. Fair and two other officers receiving letters of admonishment. The mistake stemmed from Brumfield failing to flip a critical offset switch on his 165th mission, per a Pentagon report.
