Pilot Who Vanished During Vietnam War Finally Accounted For

John C.G. Kerr, originally from Florida, was 35 when he was reported missing in 1967. Kerr had been piloting an attack aircraft on a "solo nighttime armed reconnaissance mission" over Laos on August 22, 1967, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said in a news release. He did not return from the mission, and failed to check in via radio, spurring U.S. forces to undertake an "extensive electronic and visual search" of the area where he had flown.
