Disappeared above Laos during the Vietnam war on 1 March 1969.
Finally in 1997, a joint U.S. and Lao People’s Democratic Republic recovery team found
an aircraft wreckage and military equipment, which correlated with Captain Campbell’s aircraft.
From 2009 to 2010, a recovery team returned three more times and found a pistol matching the serial number issued to Captain Cambell.
He was laid to rest on June 21 2012 in Arlington National Cemetery with full honors.
* REMARK: Correlation between pilot's history and A/C Identity & Location not 100% confirmed.
Sources state he was shot down by ground fire during attack on North Vietnamese troops.
