The Vietnam War Casualties Who Never Got to Vietnam
In March 1962, Flying Tiger Flight 739 vanished between Guam and the Philippines on its way to Vietnam. The plane was filled with U.S. military advisers and three South Vietnamese officers. Some believe it was Viet Cong sabotage, but others speculate it was the US government. None of the lost men had their names added to the Veterans Memorial in Washington, and no US government department or agency has indicated these men were sent on a mission. Some men even told their spouses they had a feeling like they were going to die before they boarded the plane.

An Artistic Disappearance
In January 1979, a Boeing 707 cargo plane containing 153 paintings from a famous painter valued at $1.2 million, took off from Japan but never made it to its planned stop in L.A. Just 30 minutes after takeoff contact with the pilot was lost. There is still no traces of the plane, the cargo, or the crew on board.
