At 15:39, the operator attempted to contact flight 739 in order to receive the now-overdue 15:30 position report. No reason was given for the request and the flight crew were advised to contact Guam Centre. . Upon arriving at Ft. Dix a week late because of an accident I was in while home on leave I saw another member of my training company who was going to the same place I was overseas. The vapour trail passed behind a cloud and then there was an “intensely luminous” explosion consisting of a white nucleus surrounded by a reddish-orange periphery with radial lines of reddish-orange light. This means that there is concern about the safety of an aircraft or its occupants.At 16:33, after attempts to contact the aircraft had failed for over an hour, the status was upgraded to alert phase (ALERFA). The accident report said only that Flying Tiger Line 739 had been destroyed in flight. The flight crew then contacted Guam International Flight Service Station to request that their departure message was relayed to the Flying Tiger Line offices.At 13:25, the flight crew contacted Guam International Flight Service Station again to request a change in cruising altitude from 10,000 feet to 18,000 feet.

Give them the Honors they deserve, put their names on the Vietnam Wall, let them rest in PEACEMy father, Sgt John A Karibo, from Bellefontaine, Ohio was also on this flight. With EAL we flew all series of the Connie’s and later on with ONA all series of the DC8 jetsWith the new scientific, private submarines that exist today, I can’t believe that one of those companies hasn’t embarked on this mission, to locate any wreckage from this doomed flight. I understand the 93 were hand selected and the entire misdion was classified, all relevant information relating to those lost was redacted, and as a result, none of their names were added to the Vietnam Memorial Wall because the Government will not admit they were on “a mission.”My father, Melvin L. Hatt, from Lansing, Michigan was on that flight. .My brother SFC Nick C. Nichols Jr was on this flight.My grandfather, Harold Lamonde Curry, was one of the army personnel on this flight. Also, the Bill S. 1891 – Flying Tiger Flight 739 Act Introduced to 116th Congress to provide for the inclusion on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall of ONLY the names of the soldiers and NOT the 11 crew members (men AND WOMEN) who were also on that flight has gone NO WHERE!

The executive vice president told the media that is was impossible for an explosion to occur on the Super Constellation in the course of normal operation: something violent must have happened.The Civil Aeronautics Board believes that the crew members of the tanker most likely witnessed the explosion of the aircraft. She went into shock and deep depression. Where do they bury the unmarked caskets?As a ‘Monday Morning Quarterback’ it seems the tanker which saw the airborne explosion at 1:30 AM local, and investigated for 5 1/2 hours, may have left area too soon. The flight crew, five men and four women, were all civilians.The cargo consisted only of passenger baggage: personal articles and clothing.The flight departed Travis Air Force Base at 05:45 GMT on the 14th of March 1962 and proceeded normally for the next twelve hours, arriving in Honolulu at 17:44 GMT. . They would not gain anything from publicly admitting to a major lapse in security and if the crash was arranged by a foreign intelligence agency they would also keep silent about their activities.It’s also possible that the executives of Flying Tiger Line emphasised the possibility of sabotage to deflect attention away from the company. No maintenance was required. Even if the wreckage is ever found it probably wouldn’t be possible to tell exactly what happened from whatever scattered and corroded pieces still remain.

Forever Loved and Missed Sp4 Donald Albert Sargent.10-20-2019 Hello, My father was George Michael Nau, he was one or the two Flight Engineers on Flight 739 that disappeared March 15th, 1962 on it’s way to Saigon, Vietnam. A sad piece of our airline’s history.I remember in 1967, Okinawa, we had a C-133 (“banana boat”) go down in the ocean. And they might not have sailed to the spot on the ocean were debris would have fallen. The next leg, to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, was estimated at six hours and nineteen minutes. I really wish President Trump would open the case and consider their names on the Vietnam Wall. Are you talking about from WW2?Yes, Laura: the man listed (incorrectly) in the manifest as “Robbie J…” (birth certificate) “Bobbie Jean Gazzaway”; family and hometown friends referred to him as “Bob”. VR21 NAS Barber’s Point Hawaii was my squadron base. So even though the ship spent some time searching–they might have been searching in the wrong spots.Thank you LJ Cook for your response. With ongoing events, we would like to provide notice that we are operational and shipping orders daily. They searched the area for 5½ hours but found no trace of wreckage or debris. Seems like any debris would have been easier to spot in daylight hours. It is unconscionable. He was in special training for a year prior to leaving on this Special Mission.
